Ingredients
For the cauliflower crust:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, riced
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the toppings:
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (no sugar added)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your favorite low-carb toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To make the cauliflower crust, steam or microwave the riced cauliflower until tender. Let it cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This is a crucial step to ensure a crispy crust.
- In a large bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, beaten egg, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a pizza crust, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm.
- Remove the crust from the oven and top with the marinara sauce, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and your favorite low-carb toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
