When I'm craving pizza but need a low carb option. The secret to getting a non soggy crust is to remove any moisture/water from the cauliflower before baking. I usually don’t add sauce but that’s just my personal choice. For the topping, I kept it simple with mozzarella cheese, spinach and tomatoes.
Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Ingredients
1 medium head of cauliflower (3-4 cups)
1 large egg
1/2 cup Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese ( grated/shredded)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Optional spices / herbs
Favorite toppings
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rice the cauliflower using a grater or food processor and microwave for about 5 minutes. If you don’t have a microwave, you can steam or use a dry skillet to cook the cauliflower. Transfer to a bowl lined with a cheesecloth or dishtowel. Wrap the cloth around the cauliflower and twist as tight as possible to squeeze out the water.
Discard the water from the bowl. Add the cauliflower, egg, cheese, salt, pepper, and any other spices or herbs desired and mix well. Using your hands, flatten the cauliflower on the baking sheet or a sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the cauliflower over with a spatula and bake for about more 5 minutes. Top with your favorite toppings and continue baking for 7-10 minutes or until the crust is golden.
