The Marvelous Cauliflower Pizza Crust
This beneficial crust proves that you don’t need all that flour to make a fantastic pizza. In fact, cauliflower is here to save the day, making your meal lighter, healthier, and downright tasty!
Ingredients
- 1 small head of cauliflower
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, veggies, extra cheese, you name it!)
Instructions
- First things first, let’s get that cauliflower ready. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it’s heating up, wash the kale, er… I mean, cauliflower! Chop it into florets and toss it into a food processor.
- Pulse the florets until they turn into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also grate it using a box grater—just keep your fingers clear of the blade. Trust me on this one!
- Next, steam those cauliflower crumbs! You can do this by microwaving it for about 4-5 minutes. Just be careful, because steam is a sneaky little thing.
- Once that cauliflower is steamed, let it cool for a bit. Then, grab a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out all that excess moisture. Seriously, you want to wring it like you’re trying to get every last drop out of a damp sponge!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dried cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You should have a nice sticky mixture that holds together. If it seems too crumbly, add another egg!
- Now, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take your cauliflower mixture and spread it out into a circle, about 1/4 inch thick. No need for perfection here, just give it your best shot!
- Bake it for 25-30 minutes until it’s golden and crispy. While it’s baking, think about all your favorite toppings. Maybe some pepperoni for the protein lovers or a rainbow of veggies for our healthy friends!
- Once your crust is done, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes. Top it with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings. Pop it back in the oven for another 10 minutes, and voila! You’ve got yourself a deliciously healthy pizza!
And there you have it—your new go-to pizza crust that’s not only healthier but also absolutely scrumptious! So grab a slice (or two) and enjoy that guilt-free goodness!
