Superbowl Sunday Treat - Gluten Free Cauliflower Pizza

Sunday, February 1, 2015

Not sure what you can bring to the big game tonight? Not to worry - I have a family favorite that we make time and time again. It is a crowd pleaser and you won't have to wait for Pizza Hut to get there with the delivery!

Plus - my family is going to nosh on some extra veggies and be none the wiser. #momvictory

Easy Cauliflower Pizza

    4 cups raw, grated (or chopped in food processor) cauliflower - SEE TIPS
    2 eggs
    1 cup mozzarella cheese
    1 tsp oregano
    2 tsp parsley
    Italian spice blend to taste
    Pizza sauce
    Toppings as desired (pepperoni, peppers, cheese, spinach, pineapple, mushrooms, etc) 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray or use parchment paper. 

In a medium bowl, combine cauliflower, egg, mozzarella and all desired spices - make sure you get ALL the excess water out of cauliflower!! Press evenly. 

Bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes. You may turn over once if desired. Check this regularly - every over and different and cauliflower does not cook the same as regular dough!

Remove the pan from the oven. To the crust, add sauce, then toppings and cheese. I am a veggie fan - husband is a meat lover!

Place under broiler, on high heat, until cheese is melted.

TIPS: 

Using parchment paper so the pizza does not stick. Get the excess water out as much as possible after grating the cauliflower :)
 - Do this by taking the ground up cauliflower and putting it in a thin dishtowel. Wring it TIGHT as you can and you will see tons of water drip out (it's sorta gross!). I employ the muscles of Mr. Lockrin Fitness for this OR if he isn't home - smash it against the kitchen sink to get better grip!

Don't spread this too thin or it will fall apart - you will end up with a pizza soup: spoon needed! It is still delicious, just might not be your style :)
