Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Keto Toppings

Prepare Cauliflower Crust:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Grate the medium cauliflower head or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice-like texture.

Place the grated cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 4-5 minutes or until it's tender. Allow it to cool, then place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out excess moisture from the cauliflower.

In a mixing bowl, combine the steamed and drained cauliflower with the egg, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until it forms a dough-like consistency

Place the cauliflower mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your hands to shape it into a round or rectangular crust, about 1/4-inch thick.

Bake the cauliflower crust in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until it becomes golden and firm.

Assemble and Bake Pizza:

Remove the cauliflower crust from the oven and spread keto-friendly pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, and add your keto-friendly toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives).

Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

If desired, garnish your Cauliflower Crust Pizza with fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes for added flavor and presentation.

Slice your keto-friendly pizza and savor it as a delicious and low-carb meal.
