Cauliflower Pizza

 Cauliflower Pizza
  • 1 Small head of cauliflower RICED (Basically chop up one cauliflower into small pieces, throw into food processor until rice like) I ended up only using at 2 cups.
  • 1 T Onion, minced or grated
  • 1T Garlic, minced or crushed
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 C Grated mozzarella
  • 1/2 C Parmesan
  • 1 T Olive oil
  • Sea Salt
  • Pizza toppings: Turkey pepperoni (17 slices), part skim mozzarella (1/4 C), & Sprouts Tomato Basil Spaghetti sauce (1/4 C)
Heat oven to 425Âș and grease up your pizza pan. (I used olive oil, next time I will try parchment paper)
Combine all of the ingredients (expect toppings) and mix well until you have your cauliflower dough. Spread out the mixture with your hands and pat it into the shape of the pizza you want.
If you choose to used a rectangular pan, just pat it out to between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick.
Throw in oven for about 12-15 minutes. I let mine go a tad bit longer for a crunchier "crust"
You kitchen will smell amazing with all that cheesy gooey-ness.
For toppings I chose exactly what I had listed.  Put the pizza back in the oven for 5-7 minutes or under the broiler for just a few minutes to melt the toppings.






With my specific toppings: 247 calories.  Crust alone: 203 calories
I counted two slices as one serving. And honestly you could probably eat the whole thing for the average calorie count of two slices of regular pizza.
 
Now this isn't the toughest crust in the world. You may have to use a fork. And using only 1/4 of mozzarella as a topping was pure magic. The crust alone is extremely cheesy.

I highly recommend this crust as an alternative to the carby, gluten, and average greasey pizza. I can't wait to keep experimenting! Tell me how you made yours!

Enjoy!
