A light, low-carb twist on a classic favorite—this cauliflower crust pizza satisfies pizza cravings without the guilt.
Ingredients
1 medium head cauliflower, grated into rice-sized pieces
1 large egg
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp garlic powder
Toppings of choice (pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, low-carb pizza sauce, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Cauliflower
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Add grated cauliflower and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring often, to release excess moisture.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
(Optional but recommended) Wrap cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible for a crisp crust.
- Make the Crust Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine cauliflower, egg, mozzarella, oregano, and garlic powder.
Mix until fully blended.
- Shape & Bake the Crust
Spread mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Shape into a thin, round crust (about ¼-inch thick).
Bake for 10–15 minutes, until lightly golden and set.
- Add Toppings & Finish Baking
Remove crust from oven and add desired toppings.
Return to oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips for Best Results
Removing moisture from the cauliflower is key to a crispy crust.
For extra firmness, flip the crust halfway through baking.
Let pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing.
