The Best Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Whether you are gluten-free or not, this cauliflower pizza crust will make you wonder why you have never tried cauliflower pizza before. It is easy to make, grain-free, and healthy!

Yield: 8 servings

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Pomi Pizza Sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup pepperoni minis
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional

For the Cauliflower Crust:

• 1 head cauliflower, chopped
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
2. To make the cauliflower crust, add cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground, yielding about 2-3 cups.*
3. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and place into microwave for 4-5 minutes, or until softened; let cool.
4. Using a clean dish towel or cheese cloth, drain cauliflower completely, removing as much water as possible.
5. Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl. Stir in eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper.
6. Spread cauliflower mixture into a 15- by 10-inch rectangle onto the prepared baking sheet. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden.
7. Top with pizza sauce, cheeses and pepperoni minis. Place into oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
8. Serve immediately, sprinkled with basil and red pepper flakes, if desired.

I know what you’re thinking. A cauliflower crust? Ummmmm, no, thank you. But guys, believe me. This crust is bomb.com. And you know I wouldn’t lie to you.

I tweaked an old recipe of mine for mini cauliflower pizzas, except in this version, you get to have those super crisp edges – the edges that everyone fights for.

And you know it wouldn’t be the best cauliflower crust without Pomi’s Pizza Sauce, which is BPA and gluten-free, with no water or citric acid added. Really, it’s just suitable for any stinking recipe.

You can add anything for your toppings: cheese, mini pepperonis, fresh basil leaves, crushed red pepper flakes, etc. Or you can add some eggs and bacon for a LEGIT breakfast option. It’s just a thought, you know?
