Ingredients

for the crust

  • 16 ounces riced cauliflower, I like Trader Joe's microwave and squeeze out moisture
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp red crushed pepper
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • salt to taste don’t use a lot since the cheese and sauce have a lot of salt
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 egg

for toppings

  • 1/2 cup Rao’s Marinara Sauce you may need more.
  • 1/2 cup mozarella cheese more or less.
  • fresh basil to taste julienne
  • dried oregano to taste

Instructions

  • I used Trader Joe's Cauliflower Rice.
  • Dump the cauliflower rice into a big bowl. Cover and microwave for 5 minutes.
  • While the cauliflower is cooling, preheat the oven at 450 degrees.
  • Once the cauliflower is cool, transfer the cauliflower to a kitchen cloth and squeeze out all the moisture. You may have to do this in 3 batches.
  • This is what you should have.
  • Add all the spices (oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic, red crushed pepper, black peper and salt) and parmesan.
  • Add egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are well-combined.
  • Lightly coat a 10" cast-iron skillet with Olive Oil spray. Add the cauliflower to the cast-iron skillet. Spread and pat down the cauliflower.
  • Into the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Crust is ready. See it's crispy!
  • Once done, add your favorite past sauce (I love Rao's Marinara) to the cauliflower crust. Don't overdo it.
  • Top with mozzarella cheese.
  • And now fresh basil.
  • Into the oven. Broil for 3-4 minutes - watch this so the pizza doesn't burn.
  • Done! You can eat the pizza right away, or wait about 5 minutes and then serve.
  • You should be able to hold a slice of pizza up once it's slightly cool. :)
