Cauliflower Crust Pizza

It goes without saying that pizza is typically a crowd favorite, but isn't the best option when you're trying to watch what you eat. Swap the dough for a cauliflower crust, and you can still have that pizza fix without the guilt - and even enjoy more flavor!

Ingredients

  • Nonstick spray
  • 2 1/2 cups cauliflower, grated (about half a large head)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Kosher salt & freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and preheat the oven to 425 degrees
  2. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater until you have two cups of cauliflower crumble. Place in a large bowl and microwave for seven to eight minutes, or until soft. Remove from the microwave, and let cool
  3. Mix in the egg, one cup mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and salt & pepper. Once combined, pat into a 10-inch round on the prepared pizza pan. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown
  4. Top the pizza with the sauce, 1/4 cup mozzarella, grape tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bake in the oven until melted and bubbly, about another 10 minutes. Top with basil before serving.
