A delicious and healthy low-carb cauliflower pizza crust that is crispy, easy to make, and perfect for family meals or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower (about 4 cups grated)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for a little heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Cut cauliflower into chunks and grate finely using a food processor or box grater until you have about 4 cups of cauliflower rice.
  3. Cook the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl for 4-5 minutes until soft or steam on stovetop for about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  4. Wrap the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until sticky.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping into a 10-inch circle or rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Pat down firmly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  8. Remove from oven, add your favorite low-carb sauce, cheeses, and toppings.
  9. Return to oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing to help the crust set.

Notes

Squeezing out all moisture from the cooked cauliflower is crucial to avoid a soggy crust. Press the crust firmly onto the pan before baking. If edges brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let the crust cool before slicing for easier handling. For dairy-free, use plant-based cheese and flax or chia egg.
