sugar free tomato sauce
sliced vegetables
olive oil
basil leaves
sliced pepperoni

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).Wash and dry the cauliflower head. Remove the stem and leaves, then cut it into small florets.
Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice or breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can grate the cauliflower with a box grater.
Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 5-6 minutes. This helps remove excess moisture.
Allow the microwaved cauliflower to cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieving a crispy crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, grated mozzarella, grated Parmesan, egg, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.Place the cauliflower mixture on the parchment paper and use your hands to shape it into a round pizza crust, about 1/4-inch thick. You can make it thinner or thicker to your preference.
Bake the cauliflower crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and starts to crisp.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly.Spread sugar-free tomato sauce or tomato paste over the crust, leaving a border for the "crust."
Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by your preferred toppings like sliced vegetables and nitrate-free pepperoni or bacon.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the cauliflower pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, drizzle with a bit of olive oil if desired, and let it cool for a minute or two.
Slice your Banting-friendly cauliflower pizza into wedges and savor the flavors while adhering to your dietary goals.
