Ingredients needed

This cauliflower pizza is so easy, and besides the eggs and cheese, there isn’t much else needed to make. Here is what you’ll need:

Cauliflower- Fresh cauliflower or pre-riced cauliflower (also known as cauliflower rice).

Garlic- Freshly minced or pre-minced. Mozzarella cheese- Helps bind the pizza crust together. Choose part-skim and low-moisture mozzarella as this has less liquid that traditional mozzarella and will yield a crispier crust. Parmesan cheese- Adds extra flavor and helps hold the pizza together. Eggs- Works with the cheeses as a binding agent and aids the crispy crust. Italian seasoning- A must for any good pizza recipe. Toppings- I used cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and mozzarella cheese, but add whatever you like!

How to make a cauliflower pizza crust

Cauliflower crust is so easy: just remember to soak up all the excess moisture from the cauliflower before assembling the pizza. Frozen cauliflower and/or cauliflower rice also works. Just be sure to thaw them out first completely. Rice the cauliflower: Add cauliflower to the food processor and blend until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Make the crust: Take a large bowl and add cauliflower, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and eggs. Keep mixing until the mixture binds. Shape the crust: Transfer the mixture onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Shape it into a pizza shape. Bake the cauliflower pizza: Put the crust in the oven for about 15 minutes or until it turns golden in the middle and darker at the edges. Remove the crust from the oven and top with pizza sauce and your favorite toppings. Cook the toppings: Place the pizza back on the baking sheet and bake until the cheese has melted and is bubbling. Remove the pizza from the oven, slice it up, then serve.

Frozen cauliflower crust pizza

Did you know that you can make batches of this crust and freeze them to enjoy later? Here is how you do it: When you are ready to cook a pizza, let the crust sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before adding toppings and baking it.

Tips to make the best recipe

Squeeze out all the moisture from the cauliflower: While it can be a little time-consuming, squeezing out all the moisture from the cauliflower will yield a sturdy and tender crust. Freshly grate the cheese: Always grate your cheese instead of using the pre-shredded kind. It not only melts better, but it binds the crust better too. Use good quality parchment paper: Cheaper brands of parchment paper don’t have the extra layer of coating which prevents the crust from sticking to it. Broil at the end: Our secret trick to perfect cauliflower pizza crusts every single time is to broil it at the end.

Storage instructions

To store: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to three days. To freeze: Place the cooked and cooled pizza in an airtight container and store it in the freezer for up two months. Reheating: Add slices of the pizza to a preheated oven and cook until hot and crispy.
