Gluten Free (and Healthy!) Recipe: Cauliflower Crust Pizza

This one's for my gluten-free friends out there!  Or, for those who are looking for a new way to get their much needed vegetables in their diet, this is a creative alternative to making pizza crust. 
Finished product(:
To make this crust, all you need is...
  • a bag of frozen cauliflower (or one head of califlower, grated)
  • 1 egg

That's all!

Directions:
  1. Take your frozen cauliflower and steam it in the microwave (or grate/chop your fresh califlower).  
    1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. 
  2. Use a food processor or blender, and combine the cauliflower your just worked with with the egg.  
  3. Take your cookie sheet and spray it with nonstick.  Mold your cauliflower/egg mixture into the shape of a crust.  
  4. Bake for about 10 minutes (check on it periodicaly in case it ends up cooking faster than expected-you don't want it to burn!)
  5. Add any sauce, cheese, meat, or veggies you want.  I recommend sauteeing any meat or veggies ahead of time in a little olive oil before adding it to the pizza (then, the ingredients will cook down and the pizza will turn out better).  Season however you wish!  It should bake for about 5 minutes at most before it is done, but that depends on your oven.  
  6. Enjoy!





I added sauteed veggies, marinara, mozarella, and chicken sausage to mine!


Yes, I did eat the whole thing.
