I first heard of cauliflower pizza on Pinterest. It looked like regular pizza..and since I'm always trying to find healthier alternatives to the food I already love, I thought I would give this a try. It actually turned out really good. I liked it a lot - I told a lot of people that I could probably switch to this kind and wouldn't miss the regular dough, and I really think I could. It has a unique taste. The crust doesn't taste like dough, but it doesn't taste like cauliflower either. I would recommend trying it out. It cuts back on calories and carbs, so I didn't feel guilty about having an extra piece!
Since everyone likes different cheeses and toppings, I didn't think taking a picture of the ingredients was necessary. The only thing you will definitely need is :
1 head of cauliflower (grated, you'll probably need 2 cups)
2 eggs (I used 1 whole egg and 1 egg white)
14 oz. jar of pizza sauce
First you'll want to cut up and steam your cauliflower.
While your waiting on the cauliflower, cut up any veggies you want to use on your pizza. For me, it was tomato and onion!
You can preheat your oven awhile to 450. Then, using a food processor, grate the cauliflower so that it looks almost like rice. I've seen that mentioned a few times in different recipes, and that's pretty much the best way to describe it.
Now add in your eggs and give it a stir.
Spray your pan with cooking spray and then spread your 'dough' evenly. You basically just form it into a circle and make sure it's all sticking together the best you can, just so it holds its shape. You can also do a square shape if you'd rather it like that. Sprinkle with whatever seasonings you'd like. I used parsley, oregano and a little bit of garlic powder.
You want to pop it in the oven for 12-15 minutes, just to let the crust set up. Take it out and add your pizza sauce (I didn't use the whole jar, just use what you like), then add your cheese and toppings. Then turn the heat up to broil until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.
This is what it looks like when it's done. You can see I added some vegetarian pepperoni to half of the pizza too.
Here's a close up. Doesn't it look tasty?
