Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head cauliflower riced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese finely grated
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup mixed bell peppers sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella torn into pieces
  • Fresh basil leaves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Rice the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles fine crumbs. If using pre-riced cauliflower, measure out 4 cups.
  • Microwave the riced cauliflower for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  • In a large bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, eggs, cheeses, and seasonings. Mix well until it forms a cohesive dough.
  • Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a 1/4-inch thick circle. Make sure the thickness is even throughout.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  • Add your sauce and toppings, then return to the oven for another 10-12 minutes until the cheese melts and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Finish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
