Ingredients
The Crust:
- 1 pound cauliflower
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Pinch of salt and pepper
The Topping:
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced
- fresh basil leaves
- red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until they reach a rice-like consistency.
- Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 4–5 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender. Let it cool down. Place the cooked cauliflower in a kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Add the drained cauliflower, shredded cheese, beaten egg, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Mix with your hands.
- Line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the crust mixture onto the paper. Press the dough down into an even circle, resembling a pizza crust.
- Transfer the parchment paper with the crust to the preheated baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Remove the cauliflower crust from the oven and let it cool.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges of the crust. Add the mozzarella cheese, return the pizza to the oven, and bake for 10 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
