Cauliflower Pizza

Ingredients

1 small to medium sized head of cauliflower - should yield 2 to 3 cups once processed

2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1 egg

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ onion powder

½ teaspoon basil

½ teaspoon oregano

1 cup pizza, tomato or marinara sauce

Toppings

1-2 cups mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Remove the stems from the cauliflower and cut into chunks, Place the cauliflower into a food processor and pulse it until it resembles the texture of rice. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a cheese grater.

Microwave the processed cauliflower uncovered in a microwave safe bowl for approximately 4-5 minutes on high. Remove it from the microwave and allow it to cool for at least 4-5 minutes (trust me don't rush this step!). After the cauliflower is slightly cooled, place it in a kitchen towel and squeeze all the liquid out of it. Squeeze as much liquid as possible. 


Combine the cooked cauliflower, cheeses, egg, and seasonings. Stir until a dough texture forms. Spread the cauliflower mixture out onto lightly greased pizza pan in the shape of a pizza crust. 


Bake the crust for approximately 10-15 minutes (depending on your oven), or until the crust is golden and crispy. After the crust is golden remove it from the oven and add your toppings.


Place the pizza back in the oven, bake for about another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
