Cauliflower Pizza

Since I can remember I have been obsessed with my weight and body image. I am a short Italian girl who gains weight just by looking at food (or at least it seems that way haha). I used to dance when I was younger and that helped keep me slim, but I ate whatever I wanted and nothing healthy. Plus, being a dancer, I was never skinny enough. I'm also not thinly built, I have an athletic-toned body when I'm actually in shape.

I am a HUGE Pizza lover...so finding a recipe where I can eat more than once slice and not feel guilty about it is amazing. I'd like to perfect this pizza crust so it's not so soggy, but all in all it tasted great and not like I was eating a vegetable crust.

So if you're gluten free, dairy free, or just watching your carbs, this is the recipe for you. Make sure you press/squeeze out as much liquid from the cauliflower as possible.




  • 1 cauliflower, ground or grated
  • 1 egg, slightly scrambled
  • 1/2 tsp basil
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 425

Chop the cauliflower into small pieces and add to a food processor or blender. Blend into tiny pieces.

Transfer to a bowl and top with saran wrap. Poke a few holes in the top to vent. Microwave for 4 minutes and remove to cool a bit. Wring out the cauliflower with a towel or mesh strainer. Try to get as much liquid out as possible.


Add the cauliflower to another bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix well.


Spread out the crust onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or pizza plate.


Bake for 15-20 minutes, then add your favorite toppings and bake another 5-10 minutes.



Yum!!
