- 1 Head of cauliflower
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 jar tomato sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Your choice of vegetables and lean proteins (We love green peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni)
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C)
Remove the stems and leaves from the cauliflower and chop it into chunks
Pulse the cauliflower chunks in a food processor until it resembles rice
Cook the cauliflower rice in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it's dry
Allow the cauliflower rice to cool, then mix in the egg, Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, and pepper
Press the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming a pizza shape
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden
Add your toppings and bake for another 10 minutes
Storing Leftovers: If you have any leftover Cauliflower Power Pizza, simply place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 375°F until it's heated through. This will help maintain the crust's texture better than microwaving.
