Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower (about 4 cups riced)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- Olive oil spray (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease with olive oil spray.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
- Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Let it cool slightly.
- Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and egg until fully combined.
- Press the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into a circular pizza crust shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm.
- Remove from oven, add your favorite toppings, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes if desired.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Be sure to squeeze out as much water from the cauliflower as possible for a crispier crust.
- You can add herbs or spices to the crust mixture for extra flavor.
- This crust can be made ahead and frozen for later use.
