Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Pizza is one of my favorite foods - I love how versatile it is. We often make pizza at home and get creative with toppings. This all-veggie pizza turned out delicious, with a homemade cauliflower crust and piled high with colorful vegetables. 

ingredients

1 head of cauliflower, broken into florets

2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated

2 eggs, beaten

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

directions

{1}

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Generously grease parchment paper with olive oil. 

{2}

In small batches, pulse cauliflower in a food processor until it becomes rice like. Lay riced cauliflower on several layers of paper towels or a clean dish towel. Pat dry and try to squeeze out as much liquid as possible to remove the moisture from the cailiflower.

{3}

Place cauliflower in a large mixing bowl and add beaten eggs, minced garlic, garlic powder, basil, black paper and mozzarella cheese. Combine well.

{4}

Place mixture on parchment paper and form into a pizza shape (we had a ton so we filled an entire baking sheet - hello leftover pizza) 

{5}

Bake for 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees until golden brown. Remove from heat and allow to rest about 10 minutes before adding toppings. 

{6}

Create the pizza using whatever toppings you like - we used traditional tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, zucchini, asparagus, sundried tomatoes, onion, fresh basil & crushed red pepper flakes. 

{7}

Bake again for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts. Enjoy!
