Cauliflower Pizza

I LOVE PIZZA! I cant say it enough, it is just sooo good! I have been trying to be healthier in my diet though and pizza usually doesn't fit the description as "healthy". So the other night I thought I would try to mix things up a bit and try a cauliflower pizza crust since I loved the cauliflower Alfredo sauce the other week! It turned out great; this is definitely a good gluten free version of pizza and it is pretty simple. I will admit that if you can have the real stuff then it is better but for a healthier alternative this ain't bad either:)


Riced Cauliflower




Cauliflower Pizza

Ingredients:
  • 2 C riced cauliflower
  • 1 C shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 C grated Parmesan cheese
  •  2 eggs
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoing
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • pizza sauce & toppings of your choice
Directions:
  1. To rice cauliflower, cut florets into chunks and place in food processor until you see rice-like bits. Make sure you don't over process, you don't want it mushy. *One large head of cauliflower makes about 3 cups.*
  2. Microwave the riced cauliflower in bowl for about 5 mins (don't need to add water).
  3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine riced, cooked cauliflower, eggs, and cheese. Then add Italian seasonings, crushed garlic and salt. Once mixed well, then place mixture on cookie sheet and pat out a round pizza crust. 
  5. Bake @ 450 degrees for 15 mins. It's ok if it looks dark on the edges, it wont taste burnt.
  6. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings to your pizza. Place pizza under broiler until cheese is melted.
