Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower rice * from one medium head
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese * grated
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese * shredded
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a pizza stone or baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap leaving one area slightly open to vent. Microwave for 6 minutes.
- Dump the cooked cauliflower onto a clean kitchen towel. Let it cool to the point you can handle it without burning yourself.
- Wrap the cauliflower tightly in the towel and squeeze out as much water as you possibly can.
- Place the cauliflower back in the bowl and add the salt, basil, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and egg. Mix until everything is moist.
- Spread the cauliflower “dough” out onto the parchment lined pizza stone or baking sheet and shape into a rectangle or circle about 1/4-1/2″ thick.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes, depending on thickness, or until the crust starts to brown evenly.
- Remove from the oven and top as desired, then bake an additional 5-7 minutes to melt any added cheese and warm the toppings.

- Be sure to use an old kitchen towel to wring all the water out as cauliflower doesn’t typically have the best smell.

- Store leftover pizza crust tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. Use within 3-5 days for the best results.
