Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipe {Low Carb}

July 5, 2012

The other night John ordered a pizza and it looked and smelled sooooo good! I really really wanted a piece because I adore pizza, but I’m still on my low carb diet. I’ve lost more weight so I’m motivated to continue on and not cheat. However, I really want a piece of pizza!

I ended up surfing Pinterest and found a recipe for pizza with a cauliflower crust and it included all low carb ingredients I could eat. I knew I had to try it out. I bought the ingredients and made it today for lunch. Ohhh it was delicious! I’m definitely making this one again.

Ingredients:

  • 1 head of cauliflower, grated
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (I used marble)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • olive oil
  • pizza sauce, shredded cheese and your choice of toppings

Directions:

  1. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and grate the head with a cheese grater. Place the grated cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet with butter or cooking spray.
  3. Mix together the grated cauliflower, egg and cheese. Add Italian Seasoning, garlic and garlic salt and stir. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and using your hands, pat out into a 9″ round. Brush olive oil over top of crust.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven. Add your pizza sauce, toppings and cheese. Place under a broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted (approximately 3-4 minutes). Make sure all the toppings are pre-cooked though.
