Ok, so I know that this sounds weird. Believe me, I am no cauliflower fan, in fact, I avoid it at all costs in my meals. However, this pizza tastes good! Try it! You don't have to stick to these toppings, add your personal favorites. To keep it skinny and on the clean eating plan, stay away from processed meats and excessive cheese. Try veggies, olives (small amounts), chicken, etc.
Ingredients
1 cup cauliflower, grated
1/2 cup shredded light mozarella cheese
1 egg
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp basil
2 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp fennel
1 green pepper
1 onion
1 tomato
Garlic powder, to taste
Directions
Chop pepper, onion and tomato. Set aside. Steam the cauliflower, let it cool and then grate it. Squeeze out the extra water by putting it in a cheesecloth and squeezing, or pressing it to squeeze in a fine mesh sieve.
Combine grated cauliflower with the mozzarella and egg in a large bowl. Spray a circular or rectangular metal pan with cooking spray before spreading the dough evenly. Sprinkle the dough with fennel, oregano, parsley and basil. Add garlic powder.
Bake at 450° F for 12-15 minutes. Remove the dough from the oven and sprinkle chopped green pepper, onion and tomato, as well as the remaining mozzarella cheese on top. Return the pizza to the oven. Turn the heat up to broil and leave in until the cheese has melted and the crust is crispy.
It will look funky and you will wonder whether it is going to turn out edible during the prep and cooking process. It will crisp up and be a great crust, and it will taste great!
I have not tried putting tomato sauce on it like a traditional pizza. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
