This dish offers a harmonious blend of textures, from the tender riced cauliflower base to the juicy bursts of cherry tomatoes, all baked to perfection.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups riced cauliflower (150g)
1 large egg (50g)
4 ounces fresh mozzarella (112g)
1/4 cup marinara sauce (62g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (4.5g)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (75g)
2 tablespoons fresh basil
1 garlic clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, lightly minced garlic, and the egg. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Press the cauliflower mixture firmly onto the baking sheet to form a round, even crust about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until it starts to turn golden at the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the marinara sauce evenly over the surface.
Tear or slice the fresh mozzarella and distribute it evenly over the sauce. Add halved cherry tomatoes on top.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves and a light drizzle of olive oil before serving.
