INGREDIENTS
2 cups Cauliflower Rice (approx. 150g)
1 large Egg
0.75 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella (approx. 85g)
0.25 cup Unsweetened Tomato Sauce
1 oz Grated Parmesan Cheese (28g)
1 handful Fresh Basil
1 Garlic Clove
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the cauliflower rice with a lightly beaten egg, salt, pepper, and minced garlic until well combined.
Press the cauliflower mixture onto the baking sheet in a circular shape, forming a thin crust about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until it starts to turn golden and firm up.
Remove the crust from the oven, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly over it.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce followed by a light dusting of grated Parmesan.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish generously with fresh basil leaves.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
