This incredibly delicious, fabulously versatile and super easy "Cauliflower Pizza Crust" recipe is SUPER AWESOME!! (and it's also included in my IGNITE15 RECIPE COLLECTION!)
Seriously, what BETTER way to have extra healthful fiber and nutrients packed into something that nearly all of us LOVE to indulge in than PIZZA??!! Whether with a rich tomato sauce, a white sauce, or a simple brush of olive oil and herbs, this is a GREAT nest for your favorite toppings to cozy up on, and gluten-free to boot! Also fun baked and sliced into "cauli-sticks", topped with a brushing of olive oil, garlic powder, dried herbs and grated Parmesan cheese to accompany autumn soups... or use smaller squares or rounds for party appetizers, topping with olive tapenade and Feta cheese or perhaps with roasted shrimps/scallops tucked upon an avocado/lime spread with cilantro? Okay, I am totally making myself hungry now! ENJOY!
2 cups grated cauliflower
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 eggs (or egg white equivalent)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon fennel 2 teaspoons garlic powder
olive oil cooking spray
Some Suggested Toppings: Diced green pepper, onion, tomato, fresh spinach, roasted chicken, red onions, artichoke hearts, etc.
Chop desired toppings and set aside. Steam cauliflower. Let it cool and then grate it. Combine cauliflower with 1 cup of the cheese and eggs in a large bowl. Coat a baking stone/metal baking pan with cooking spray and spread the dough evenly, sprinkling herbs and garlic powder on top. Bake at 450°F for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with desired toppings and other cup of cheese. Return to oven. Turn to broil and leave in until the cheese melts and the crust is crispy.
Super Yummy Idea: Brush the crust with olive oil, fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice all over (or use “Yummy Gluten Free Sauce”) and top with chopped rotisserie chicken, mushrooms, fresh spinach, chopped fresh herbs, red onions, crumbled turkey bacon and artichoke hearts.
