The Inspo behind the recipe
I feel like my inspiration for 90% of my recipes is health. I want to be healthy; I want to share healthy recipes and promote this lifestyle. So, this cauliflower crust recipe is for inspiring health and wellness.
Recipes like this are a great way to eat healthy without sacrificing your favorite foods or types of food. So, my basic “mission” is to make health and wellness realistic and doable. I share that through my recipes.
What you will need for this recipe:
- Milk Cloth – You need this to drain the liquid from the cauliflower! I linked the ones I use!
- Parchment Paper – Quality and unbleached is super important! Especially if you are using it often!
- Quality olive oil – For caramelizing your onions and tomatoes or whatever vegetables you go with. This is the one I use and swear by. True cold-pressed, Greek, Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Kosterina.
- Food Processor – I don’t love the one I have, but if I needed a new one, I would get this one.
- Silicone Spatulas – You need this to mix the dough and scrap it out of the food processor!
- Strainer – You need this to wash your cauliflower! This one is similar to the one I have!
Let’s talk about carbs
Refined carbs are not an essential nutrient—WHAT? That doesn’t mean they’re inherently bad! In moderation, they’re fine, and some people tolerate them well. However, for most of us, frequent consumption of refined carbs can cause rapid glucose spikes, which may contribute to insulin resistance, weight gain, and an increased risk of chronic diseases over time.
So, if you’re in the market to lose weight or feel better in general, cutting refined carbs is the best thing.
Now, let’s get into the health benefits of the switch
Cauliflower Crust & Why Making It At Home Matters:
- Lower in Carbs – Compared to the regular wheat-based crust, homemade cauliflower crust has significantly fewer carbs, making it great for blood sugar control and keto-friendly diets.
- Higher in Fiber & Nutrients – Cauliflower is packed with fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants, making it more nutrient-dense than refined flour.
- Gluten-Free – A great option for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
- Store-Bought Crusts Can Contain Fillers – Some pre-made cauliflower crusts contain cornstarch, gums, or emulsifiers, which can contribute to gut health issues.
- Toppings Matter – Although cauliflower crust is the way healthier option, our choice of healthy toppings does matter! Be mindful.
The Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 Head of Cauliflower
- 1 Egg
- 1/3 Cup Parmesan
- 1/3 Cup Mozerella
- 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Method:
- First, preheat the oven to 425F.
- Then, we are going to chop up our cauliflower and wash it. Then, we are going to grab your food processor and process the shizz out of your cauliflower until it’s rice-like.
- When the cauliflower is small enough, transfer it to a microwave-safe bowl and heat it up for about 2 minutes.
- Now, you are gonna let the cauliflower cool enough to handle.
- Then, you are going to grab your milk cloth and place it over a bowl. Pour your cauliflower onto the milk cloth and squeeze as much liquid out as possible. If it is still too hot to handle, wait until it isn’t.
- Place the squeezed cauliflower in a different bowl and add the rest of your ingredients: egg, mozzarella, parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix well.
- Lay the cauliflower out on a parchment-lined baking tray and make it into the shape of a pizza. Make your it’s really pressed together and firm!
- Bake for 20 minutes or until it starts to brown.
- So, I totally forgot to take a pic. But when the crust is ready it will be a golden brown color.
- Then, we are going to add our toppings of choice. I chose red sauce, mozzarella, arugula, red onion, and tomato.
- Place back in the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes or so. Until the cheese is browning and bubbling on the edges.
- You are finished!!! Enjoy your low-carb cauliflower pizza crust!!! I hope you lived this!
