INGREDIENTS
2 cups riced cauliflower (150g)
1 large egg
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (112g)
1/4 cup tomato sauce (60g)
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon olive oil
Fresh basil leaves (handful)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Steam or microwave the riced cauliflower until soft (about 5-7 minutes). Allow it to cool slightly and then place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a bowl, combine the well-drained cauliflower, egg, half of the shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
Transfer the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and press it into a thin, even round crust.
Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes until it starts to firm up and lightly brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Slice and serve warm.
