Prep time

The prep time for this recipe is approximately 20 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 25 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg, beaten

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheet

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice.
  3. Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes or until tender.
  4. Place the cooked cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This will prevent the crust from being soggy.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and beaten egg.
  6. Mix until well combined.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the center of the parchment paper and spread it out to form a circle or rectangle, making sure it's evenly thick.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oven and add your favorite toppings.
  11. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and slice into pieces.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the cooked cauliflower rice, as this will prevent the crust from being soggy.
  • You can use any toppings you like, such as tomato sauce, cheese, vegetables, and meats.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cauliflower florets by hand using a box grater.
  • Leftover crust can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
