Cauliflower Pizza Crust

A delicious gluten free and low carb alternative to a traditional wheat pizza crust. 

Serves: 1 pizza crust

Prep Time: 10 min

Cooking Time: 35-40 min

Total:  50 min

Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower, washed and cut into small florets
1 egg, whisked
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

Directions

1. Fit a food processor with the grater attachment and process cauliflower through the grater to make "cauliflower rice".
2. In a skillet, steamer basket or microwave, saute or steam cauliflower until cooked, about 5-8 minutes. Once cooked, squeeze as much liquid out of the cauliflower as possible, by patting it dry with paper towel or transferring cauliflower into a clean dish cloth or cheese cloth and squeezing the liquid out. This allows the crust to adhere together and become more crispy.
3. Place egg, herbs, cheese, salt, pepper and cauliflower into a bowl and mix well. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer mixture to the sheet. Using your hands, press to 1/4" thickness.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 F for 30-40 minutes, until golden and crispy around the edges.
5. Top crust with your favourite toppings and return to oven to bake for another 10 minutes.
6. Enjoy with a side of green salad.
