Make a sturdy, crispy cauliflower pizza crust that fits your low-carb and gluten-free lifestyle. This recipe delivers a satisfying base ready for your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower (about 4 cups riced)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Process the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice. You should have about 4 cups.
  3. Steam or microwave the riced cauliflower until tender, about 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
  4. Place the cooled cauliflower rice in the center of a clean, thin dish towel or several layers of cheesecloth. Wrap it tightly and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is key for a crispy crust.
  5. Transfer the dry cauliflower to a medium bowl. Add the beaten egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Press the mixture firmly into a 10-inch circle, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Make sure the edges are slightly higher.
  7. Bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust feels firm and dry to the touch.
  8. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your sauce and toppings. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For a freezer-friendly option, bake the crust completely, let it cool, and then wrap it tightly before freezing. Bake directly from frozen when ready to use.
  • Squeezing the moisture out of the cauliflower is the most important step for achieving a sturdy, crispy cauliflower crust.
  • This crust works well for quick low carb dinners.
