Ingredients:
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Strain cooked cauliflower rice through a fine mesh sieve to remove as much water as possible*.
- Transfer cauliflower to a medium bowl. Add grated parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, ground pepper and 1 egg and stir until completely combined.
- Transfer crust mixture to a rimmed baking sheet or pizza pan lined with parchment paper**. Top with a second sheet of parchment and press or roll cauliflower into a pizza crust shape. Remove the top sheet of parchment and brush the crust lightly with egg white.
- Bake the crust for 25 minutes, flipping the crust to the other side after 15 minutes. Crust will not be fully baked.
- Remove par-baked crust from the oven and top with pizza sauce, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Return to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is baked through with crispy browned edges.
- Top pizza with fresh basil before serving, if desired.
Notes:
*It is essential to remove as much liquid as possible from the cauliflower. Use a rubber spatula or paper towels to press cauliflower in a sieve.
**Do not skip the parchment paper. Cauliflower crust will stick and/or fall apart if baked directly on a cookie sheet. Parchment paper prevents this.
***Try chopped green onions or chives as a topping too.
Garnish with fresh chopped basil, minced (optional).
