I have been perfecting my cauliflower pizza crust for a long time now.  So many of my favorite recipes have been on-the-fly, lucky, thrown together ideas that turned out perfect the first time…  This one, however, was not so easy.
 
There are so many “healthy” pizza crust recipes out there on the internet~ but I’ve never been able to find the one that ticks all of the boxes.  They’re either too soggy, too bland, or packed with shredded cheese (or other non-Paleo ingredients).  I love the idea of a veggie crust for pizza, so I kept on my mission to come up with my own recipe.  I couldn’t be happier with it, and am super excited to finally share!
 

After many almost-perfect attempts, here is my gluten, dairy, soy, and sugar-free Cauliflower Pizza Crust.  Perfect for my Paleo friends out there, and something fun to try even if you’re not a Paleo eater!  There are endless possibilities with this basic crust recipe… Switch up the sauce, the toppings, or even the shape; I think mini pizzas would be fun!
 
Hope you enjoy 🙂
 
p.s.~ Scroll to the bottom of the recipe for nutritional information…. you’ll be amazed at how few calories this amazing crust contains!
 
 
 
 
 Here is my pizza crust fully topped & ready to enjoy!  I used Trader Joe’s Organic Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce, then sprinkled with fresh spinach, crimini mushrooms, and thinly sliced Italian sausage.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust | PALEO, Keto, Whole30

Servings: 1 crust
Calories: 195kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cauliflower
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
  • Microwave the cauliflower in a large bowl for about 4 minutes (add an extra minute if preparing from frozen).
  • Allow to cool to room temperature.  Transfer to a cheesecloth, thin dishcloth, or stack of paper towels (I needed about 3 layers) and squeeze out the majority of the moisture over the sink.
  • Transfer the cauliflower back to the bowl, and mix in the egg, coconut flour, and spices.
  • Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and pinch into a 10-inch round circle (or whatever shape you like!).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top begins to turn a light golden brown.
  • Add toppings of your choice (sauce, veggies, fully cooked meats), return to the oven, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until toppings are fully cooked and the pizza is warmed through.
  • Slice & serve!

Notes

*TIP: Double the recipe to make two crusts, bake them, top as desired, then freeze for later!  Now you’ve got a frozen pizza~ just thaw & bake at 425ºF until heated through & golden brown.
