Ingredients:
Crust
- 1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp.dried ground oregano
- ¼ tsp.ground black pepper
- ½ tsp.olive oil
Toppings
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup spinach
- ½ cup grape tomatoes, halved
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a food processor, “rice” the cauliflower florets, so they are evenly chopped into small chunks that look like grain. Do not pulverize it. This should yield about 1 cup of cauliflower rice.
- Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes.
- To get rid of the moisture so you don’t end up with mushy dough, place the cauliflower rice in a tea towel and twist it.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cauliflower, egg, mozzarella, garlic powder, oregano and black pepper.
- Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and greased with olive oil. Use your hands to press and pat out the mixture to form a thin, round crust.
- Bake on middle rack for 15 minutes, until golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Add your toppings and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or place under a broiler until cheese is melted.
- Let cool and enjoy!
