Cauliflower is a low-calorie, gluten-free, and low-carb vegetable. It’s high in fiber and antioxidants. I decided to try cauliflower crust Margherita pizza with the twist of cherry Calabrian peppers and its oil. The outcome was incredibly delicious. The pizza is very light and has a low glycemic index.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium-sized cauliflower head.
• 1 large egg or two small eggs.
• 1/2 tsp black pepper powder.
• 1/2 tsp oregano.
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
• 1/2 tsp parsley.
• 1/2 tsp salt.
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese.
• 2 tbsp grated mozzarella cheese.

• 

• 3 to 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese.
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce.
• Fresh basil leaves.
• 3 cherry Calabrian peppers and its oil per crust.

• 

RECIPE

• Pulse cauliflower till you get snowflake-like texture.
• Microwave it for 4 to 5 five minutes and make sure you put a lid to cover cauliflower while heating.
• Pour it in a cheesecloth or muslin cloth and squeeze out water thoroughly.

• 

• 

• Crack and add one egg in the cauliflower. The egg acts as a binding material for the crust.
• Next, add black pepper powder, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, and salt.
• Preheat the oven to 450 °Fahrenheit.

• 

• Lastly add parmesan and grated mozzarella cheese in the mixture.
• Mix everything well.

• 

• 

• Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment paper and pat it evenly. Make sure the base is thin.

• 

• 

• Bake the crusts for 15 minutes. Flip them, and bake for another 3-4 minutes.
• Now your healthy cauliflower pizza crusts are ready.
• Next, spread the pizza sauce on the crust and arrange mozzarella cheese on it.

• 

• Sprinkle freshly cut basil leaves, Calabrian peppers with its oil, and very little black pepper powder.
• Bake the pizza until cheese melts. (10 odd minutes with oven preheated to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.)
• Don’t overload the pizza with too many toppings.

• 

• Garnish your pizza with fresh basil leaves and dig-in.

You can use different toppings such as bell peppers, olives, red onion, tiny pieces of falafel, feta cheese, and tomatoes for the Mediterranean twist or just grated pizza-blend cheese to make a simple cheese pizza. Some people also add a cup of almond flour in the crust recipe.
