R3Cipe – Cauli-power pizza
Preparation:
Estimated time: 50 – 60 min
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Wash cauliflower, and cut in half, (you could save the rest for another recipe, or double this recipe and use the entire cauliflower!) Break cauliflower into segments, and place in food processor. Pulse until it reaches a rice-like texture. Place cauliflower in microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes. (Don’t add water or cover).
Remove cauliflower from microwave and add the cheese and seasoning. Once cauliflower has cooled down, add egg, and stir until everything is well combined.
Scoop 1/3 of cauliflower mixture up (I used a measuring cup, which came out to about 1/2 cup per crust). Scoop cauliflower onto prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to help form crust into a small circle on the pan, (it should look like the size of a thin burger, about 1/4 in thick). Repeat the process for the other two pizza crusts.
Place crusts in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with sauce and toppings of choice, and return pan to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and serve warm! Enjoy!
