INGREDIENTS
2 cups cauliflower, grated
1 large egg
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup tomato sauce
5 fresh basil leaves
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the grated cauliflower with a pinch of salt. Microwave the cauliflower in a microwave-safe dish for 5 minutes to soften it, then allow it to cool.
Once cooled, squeeze out excess moisture from the cauliflower using a clean towel.
Mix the cauliflower with the egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well incorporated.
Press the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a thin, even round crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden around the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over it.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly, then top with grated Parmesan.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves once out of the oven, slice, and serve immediately.
