Ingredients:
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of almond flour
- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 cup of low-carb pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of chopped roasted vegetables (such as bell peppers, onions, and zucchini)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
Wash the cauliflower and remove the stem and leaves. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse the cauliflower until it resembles rice.
Microwave the cauliflower rice for 5-6 minutes until it is cooked. Let it cool down.
In a bowl, whisk the egg and add the almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the cooked cauliflower rice to the bowl and mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the cauliflower mixture onto it in a circle shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Bake the cauliflower crust for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low-carb pizza sauce on top, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
Add the roasted vegetables on top of the cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it into wedges and serve immediately.
This low-carb cauliflower crust pizza with roasted vegetables is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pizza. With its crispy crust and flavorful toppings, it's sure to become a new favorite in your household!
