Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower (about 4 cups riced)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Break cauliflower into florets and rice in a food processor or grate manually to get about 4 cups.
- Steam or microwave riced cauliflower until tender, then let cool completely.
- Wrap cooled cauliflower in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cauliflower, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan (if using), Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until it forms a dough.
- Press the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a 10-12 inch circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and firm. Flip halfway for extra crispiness if desired.
- Add desired toppings and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes.
- Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use a flax egg and vegan cheese. Always squeeze cauliflower thoroughly to prevent soggy crusts.
