Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw, grated/ food processor cauliflower (about half a large head)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups cheese blend
  • 2 tsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. chopped garlic
  • 2 tsp. parsley
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • Top with various fresh vegetables like tomato, onion or bell pepper

Directions

  1. Heat oven and baking pan to 425 degrees.
  2. Cook cauliflower until tender in the microwave, heat on high for about 8 minutes. On the stove-top, place a steamer insert into a saucepan. Fill water just below steamer and heat cauliflower until tender (roughly 10 minutes). Let cauliflower cool.
  3. Using a grater or food processor, break down the cauliflower to an almost rice-like consistency.
  4. Place cauliflower mixture on a dry dish cloth and wring out as much water as possible.
  5. Using your hands, mix cauliflower in a large bowl with 1 cup of cheese, egg, oregano, garlic and parsley.
  6. Form mixture into a round of dough and place it on a sheet of parchment paper. Pat the dough into a round crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Slide parchment paper onto the hot baking sheet and cook crust for 10 minutes or until it starts to brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and add sauce, topping and cheese. Bake for additional 5 minutes or so until cheese is bubbling.
