So by now you know that I'm all about cauliflower substitutes and we found a decent cauliflower crust recipe a few months ago. This is a huge upgrade. It's thicker, has more flavor, and spreads out to fill the whole pan. With just cauliflower, it's tough to make a pizza big enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day! Top with your favorites and enjoy - guilt-free feeling included.
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 bag frozen cauliflower crumbles (TRADER JOES!)
- 1 bunch broccoli
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbs Italian seasonings
- 1 c Parmesan
- toppings of choice (we used Classico pizza sauce, Classico pesto, sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni with a sprinkle of garlic powder)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a small pan over medium heat, thaw frozen cauliflower crumbles. Stir often.
- While thawing cauliflower, place broccoli florets in a food processor and finely chop.
- Add broccoli bits to the pan on the stove, stirring to evaporate the moisture in the vegetables (this is a crucial step and this is THE BEST way we've found to do this). Pay close attention so they don't burn!
- Remove from heat and add remainder of ingredients in the pot and stir to combine.
- Roll out crust on pizza stone. *I use a smidgen of wheat flour so the crust doesn't stick to the stone (learned that the hard way).
- Place in the oven for 20 minutes without toppings.
- Remove, add desired toppings and cheese, and place back in the oven until everything's melted (about 5-10 minutes).
- EAT UP! We add a side salad for a complete meal!
