Cauliflower Crust Pizza is the perfect solution when you want a low-carb or keto pizza. Made with cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, and spices - this crispy crust works with all your favorite toppings.
Whether you are following a low carb or keto diet, or just trying to make healthier choices overall, cauliflower crust pizza is perfect for you! Using just a few ingredients to make a simple cauliflower crust, you can add a variety of your favorite pizza toppings.
There have been lots of cauliflower crust pizza recipes popping up all over the place, and I have been wanting to try one after the success of the cauliflower rice and creamy, cheesy cauliflower mash. But, I have noticed that most of them have a ton of cheese, usually a cup.
In my opinion, all though this probably tastes great, it defeats the purpose to some extent because you add so much fat and calories from the cheese. After experimenting a bit, I found I was able to get a pretty crispy crust using just 1/4 cup cheese and a whole egg.
Key Ingredients For Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipe
The following ingredients are what I used to make a homemade cauliflower crust for my pizza. You can then add your favorite toppings and sauce.
- Cauliflower Florets: I used about 3 cups of cauliflower florets, which is about an entire head of cauliflower.
- Garlic: A fresh garlic clove will have a lot more flavor than garlic powder, so I suggest using it if you can.
- Egg: This binds all the ingredients together. It's a very important ingredient.
- Cheese: Part-skim mozzarella cheese has fewer fat and calories, so use it. If you aren't concerned about the amount of those, you can use full-fat cheese. I mixed it with some shredded parmesan cheese.
- Spices: Italian spices are the best ones to use in any crust you make. I used oregano, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper.
What To Serve With Low-Carb Pizza
What do you like to eat with your pizza? You can make healthier versions of your favorite foods easily. If you enjoy munching on chicken tenders with your pizza, then make some baked coconut chicken fingers. They are crispy and a lot of fun to dip in a low-calorie marinara sauce.
