Cauliflower pizza crust is a game-changer for anyone looking to enjoy pizza while keeping things low-carb. I first stumbled upon this recipe during a busy week when I was craving pizza but wanted to stick to my health goals. It's a fantastic alternative to traditional pizza crust, and it's surprisingly easy to make. Plus, it's a great way to sneak in some extra veggies! Whether you're cutting carbs or just looking for a fun twist on a classic, this cauliflower crust is a must-try.
This cauliflower pizza crust pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad, perhaps with a light vinaigrette to complement the flavors of the pizza. You might also consider serving it with some roasted vegetables on the side, like asparagus or bell peppers, for a colorful and nutritious meal. If you're hosting a gathering, this pizza can be a delightful addition to a spread of appetizers, like a charcuterie board or some marinated olives.

Low Carb Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Servings: 2-4 servings

Ingredients
1 medium head of cauliflower, riced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rice the cauliflower by grating it or using a food processor until it resembles fine crumbs.
Microwave the riced cauliflower for about 4-5 minutes, then let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and egg. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm.
Remove from the oven, add your favorite toppings, and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the toppings are cooked and the cheese is melted.

Variations & Tips
For a cheesy twist, consider adding a bit more mozzarella to the crust mixture. If you're a fan of herbs, try adding some fresh basil or thyme to the mix. For those who love a bit of spice, a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a nice kick. You can also experiment with different cheeses, like cheddar or gouda, for a unique flavor profile. Remember, the key to a great cauliflower crust is getting as much moisture out of the cauliflower as possible, so don't skip the step of squeezing it dry!
