Let’s just start by saying who doesn’t love pizza? The very smell of it is enough to make your mouth water. I have seen pizza recipes using a cauliflower crust since I started eating paleo, and I have always wanted to try it. Yesterday I decided to give it a try! Before I even give you the recipe, let me just tell you, it turned out AMAZING. So. Dang. Tasty. You really should try this.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. For the crust, combine:
- 2 cups cauliflower, grated
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 tsp of garlic powder
- (you could also add additional spices: oregano, parsley, italian seasoning, etc.)
Shape your crust ingredients onto a pan lined with a silpat or parchment paper. THIS IS IMPORTANT! I didn’t do this, and it caused it to stick and burn a bit. You can make one larger pizza crust out of this mixture, or you can make two smaller pizzas like I did.
Bake your crust for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t burn. Flip your crust carefully and put it back in the oven for 5-10 more minutes until it’s cooked through. Top your pizza with whatever you’d like, and put it back in the oven for a few minutes to finish it off. Don’t forget to keep an eye on it! I used pesto and chicken which was INSANELY good. However, I was thinking of just how tasty a bbq chicken pizza would be, or even just a normal red sauce and veggie pizza would be. The possibilities are endless!
Tell me that pizza doesn’t look divine?!? I really was surprised at how absolutely delicious this turned out. I will FOR SURE be making this again!
