Keto Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipe

(Serves 4)

This keto-friendly cauliflower crust pizza is a delicious, low-carb alternative to traditional pizza. It’s crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor!

For the Cauliflower Crust:

For the Pizza Topping:

1/2 cup pizza sauce (low-carb or sugar-free)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pepperoni or any desired toppings (e.g., vegetables, cooked chicken, mushrooms)
Fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)

1. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until you get a rice-like texture. You should have about 4 cups of cauliflower rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it on high for 4-5 minutes, or until soft. Let it cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

2. Make the Crust:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, egg, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a round pizza crust (about 10-12 inches in diameter).
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy around the edges.

3. Add Toppings:

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly on top.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce and add your choice of toppings (pepperoni, veggies, etc.).
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

4. Serve:

Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve immediately.
