Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your Easiest Cauliflower Pizza:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.
3. Rice the Cauliflower: In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice or fine crumbs.
4. Cook the Cauliflower: Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5-7 minutes until softened. Allow it to cool slightly.
5. Drain Excess Moisture: Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a crispy crust.
6. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
7. Shape the Crust: Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a round pizza shape, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
8. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Add Sauce and Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and spread your pizza sauce evenly over the top. Add your desired toppings.
10. Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and enjoy!
