Cauliflower Pizza Bites Recipes

KETO CAULIFLOWER PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Put the cauliflower and 1/4 cup water into a medium heat-safe glass bowl. Wet a paper towel and lay over the cauliflower. Microwave until fork-tender, 6 to 8 minutes, depending on your microwave. Carefully remove the paper towel, transfer the cauliflower to a food processor (leaving any water behind in the bowl) and cool for 10 minutes. Clean out the glass bowl and set aside.
• Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside. Stir together 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan and 3 tablespoons of the Italian cheese blend in a small bowl, then set aside.
• Add the parsley to the food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is finely chopped and similar to the texture of rice. Transfer to a large clean kitchen towel and wring out any excess water.
• Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the reserved bowl along with the whole egg, egg yolk, red chile flakes, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, almond flour, marinara sauce and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Italian cheese blend. Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
• Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart, for about 28 total. Lightly wet your hands, then roll each mound into a round ball, re-wetting your hands as needed. This helps keep your hands from becoming sticky and makes rolling the mix much easier to do. Spray the balls with the cooking spray and sprinkle the tops with the reserved cheese mixture, pressing the cheese gently onto the tops to help it adhere.
• Bake in the oven until light golden brown and cooked through, about 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet once halfway through the cooking time.
• Transfer to a platter and serve with additional warm marinara sauce alongside, for dipping.

CAULIFLOWER PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper squares.
• Grate cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl using a fine grater. Chop up any remaining pieces that are too small to grate but too big for the crust.
• Microwave cauliflower until soft and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Pour cauliflower into a clean dish towel cool easily handled, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Wrap the towel around the cauliflower and squeeze out as much liquid as possible; the drier the cauliflower is, the better it will hold together as a crust once mixed with the other ingredients.
• Combine cauliflower, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl.
• Scoop cauliflower crust mixture into prepared muffin tin, dividing the mixture evenly among the cups. Pat down cauliflower mixture with the back of a spoon, making it compact.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each cauliflower crust. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, dividing evenly among the crusts.
• Bake until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Let sit in pan for 5 minutes before moving each bite to a cooling rack. Let cool for 10 minutes. Peel parchment paper squares off the crusts and serve on a platter.
