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 :)
