Ingredients to Make Cauliflower Pizza Crust

This grain-free cauliflower pizza crust is ao delicious and a healthy way to eat your favorite meal! See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements. 

• Cauliflower: You can use fresh or frozen. If you decide to use frozen cauliflower, then make sure to squeeze all of the liquid out onto a paper towel before adding the cauliflower to the mixture. 
• Parmesan cheese: Fresh, shredded parmesan cheese mixes fantastic into this crust. 
• Egg: The egg will bind all of the ingredients together. 
• Garlic salt: This adds a savory element to the crust. 
• Kosher salt: This will enhance all of the delicious flavors of the crust. 
• Italian Seasoning: You can use store-bought or homemade Italian Seasoning. Whichever is easiest for you! 
• Toppings: I love to use tomatoes, fresh basil, mozzarella and homemade pizza sauce. But you can use whatever pizza toppings that you love!

Preparing the Cauliflower

This cauliflower crust is super simple to make. In fact, it’s just as easy as a normal one! Go ahead and try it. It’s an easy and delicious way to add a vegetable to your meal!

1. Preheat: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Grind up cauliflower: To rice the cauliflower, cut the cauliflower head into florets, and place them in the food processor. Process until finely ground. Use enough florets until you have 2 cups of riced cauliflower.
3. Steam the riced cauliflower: Place riced cauliflower in a microwaveable bowl and heat for about 8 minutes. Once the cauliflower is steamed and softened, place cauliflower into a tea towel to squeeze out the liquid. Simply twist the towel to hold in the cauliflower, and squeeze the excess liquid out into a bowl or the sink. It is important to squeeze as much liquid out as possible to avoid a soggy crust. 
4. Combine: In a large bowl, add riced cauliflower, egg, parmesan cheese, herbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt. Mix until combined.

How to Make Cauliflower Pizza Crust in the Oven

1. Form a ball and flatten into a circle: Form a ball with the mixture and place on the prepared pan. Press and shape into a 9″ circle, and make sure the thickness is consistent from the middle out to the edges. It should be about 1/4 inch thick. You don’t want the outside edge of the crust to be thinner or it will burn. So be careful to make the edges the same thickness as the middle.
2. Bake: Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. A tip to get both sides of the crust crispy is to remove the pizza crust from the oven after it bakes. Allow it to cool a few minutes before flipping. Place another piece of parchment paper on top the crust, and carefully flip the pizza over supporting the pizza with one hand on top and bottom. Return the pizza back the oven and cook an additional 5 minutes to cook the bottom of the pizza.
3. Add toppings and broil: Add the homemade pizza sauce and toppings of choice, and place back into the oven on broil for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
