Description
A simple, low-carb cauliflower pizza crust made with just a few ingredients, delivering a cheesy, crispy base perfect for your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb cauliflower florets (from ~1 large head of cauliflower)
- 1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a pizza peel with parchment paper if using a pizza stone, or prepare a pizza pan.
- Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.
- Heat a lightly oiled sauté pan over medium heat and cook the cauliflower rice for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until very soft.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder if using.
- Once the cauliflower is soft, either squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel (for one large crust) or mix it directly into the egg and cheese mixture (for smaller crusts). Mix thoroughly.
- Spread the mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping it to about 1/4-inch thickness. Form one large or two smaller crusts.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until the top is dry, firm, and edges are lightly golden.
- Let the crust cool for 5–10 minutes. Add desired toppings and return to the oven for another 5–10 minutes until toppings are heated and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Squeezing out moisture yields a firmer, crispier crust.
- Use a pizza stone for best texture and even cooking.
- Allow crust to cool before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
