Description

Doesn’t this look like pizza? Like thick, crunchy, delicious and gooey cheese pizza? You are totally drooling right now. I know this isn’t even real pizza and I’m totally drooling writing this. This pizza is amazing. And no, there is no bread in this. The thick, salty crust is made with a vegetable … cauliflower! Yes, cauliflower!

Ingredients

  • 1 head Cauliflower, Finely Chopped
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Olive Oil, Divided
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1  Large Egg, Lightly Beaten
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, Freshly Grated
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Italian Herb Seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ¾ cups Marinara Sauce

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a 12″ springform pan with a circle of parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper as well as the sides of the springform pan with non-stick spray because the cauliflower sticks.
2. Chop your cauliflower into florets and steam in a steamer or a pot with a steamer basket for about 6 minutes and drain. Chop and smash the cauliflower into fine pieces. Set aside in large bowl to cool. Press down on it with paper towel to remove excess water.
3. While the cauliflower cooks, heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour the garlic over the cauliflower.
4. Add egg, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, dried Italian herb seasoning, salt, pepper, and the rest of the olive oil into the bowl with the cauliflower. Stir to combine and press the mixture into your prepared springform pan.
5. Bake until the crust is light golden, approximately 40 minutes. Remove from oven, let it cool slightly and invert it out of the pan onto a plate. Lower the oven temperature to 400 F. Peel off the parchment paper and place crust on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10 minutes at 400 F.
6. Turn your oven up to 500 F or broil. Top your crust with marinara sauce and the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Broil a couple minutes until the cheese is melted and golden in spots. Slice and serve!

This was really good. I was kind of thinking it was not going to work but I think the crust on this was better than bread. Cauliflower has a lot of flavor. People don’t know that I guess…maybe because it is white?

Ok ok I’m not going to lie, I made this too! Like I said, I’m obsessed with cauliflower recipes! I’m a big fan of pizza so I was a little hesitant going into this, but I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted great, and I didn’t feel horrible after I ate it! I loved the flavor of the ingredients in the crust. Really complimented the cauliflower well, but made it taste more like pizza at the same time, if that makes sense haha
