| Cauliflower Crust Veggie Pizza |
Ingredients:
1 medium head of cauliflower (about 2.5–3 cups riced)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
Toppings:
1/2 cup pizza sauce (no added sugar)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 zucchini, thinly sliced
A handful of baby spinach
Fresh basil for garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then place in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower, Parmesan, mozzarella, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and egg until a dough forms.
Press the mixture into a circle (about 1/4 inch thick) on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and firm.
Remove the crust from the oven, spread the sauce evenly, and layer on the veggies and cheese.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
