Cauliflower Pizzas With Mozzarella Kale And Lemon Recipes

CAULIFLOWER PIZZAS WITH MOZZARELLA, KALE, AND LEMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). To make the cauliflower pizza crust, lightly grease two 12-inch round pizza trays and line with non-stick baking paper. Place the cauliflower, in batches, in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl, add the almond meal, Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper and mix until a soft dough forms. Divide the mixture in half and press into the prepared trays. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
• Place the kale, oil, garlic, chile and lemon zest in a bowl and toss to coat. Divide the mixture between the bases and top with the Parmesan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the kale is crisp. Top each pizza with mozzarella and basil to serve.

CAULIFLOWER-CRUST PIZZA WITH TOMATOES AND MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in middle of oven; place pizza stone or inverted (if rimmed) baking sheet on rack. Preheat to 425°F.
• Working in batches if needed, pulse cauliflower in a food processor fitted with the blade, or grate using the medium holes of a box grater, until fine crumbs form and are rice-like in texture. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and tightly squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Mix cauliflower, egg, Parmesan, almond meal, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until mixture holds together when pinched.
• Line pizza peel or second baking sheet with parchment paper; generously brush with oil. Form cauliflower mixture into a 12" circle with your hands on parchment. Using a rolling pin, make thickness as even as possible. Carefully slide parchment onto preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
• Bake cauliflower crust until golden brown and firm to the touch, rotating halfway through, 20-22 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Sprinkle with 1 1/4 cups mozzarella. Top with sauce, using the back of a spoon to spread over cheese. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella.
• Slide pizza back onto pizza stone or baking sheet and continue to bake until bubbly and browned in spots, 5-7 minutes. Top with basil and red pepper, if using. Let sit 5 minutes, then cut into 6-8 wedges.
• Do Ahead
• Pizza can be made 3 days ahead; transfer to a resealable container and chill. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.

VEGETARIAN CAULIFLOWER PIZZA

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Allow to cool. Grate cauliflower and measure out 1 cup.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a circular or rectangular metal baking pan with cooking spray.
• Combine grated cauliflower, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and egg in a large bowl. Press mixture into the prepared baking pan evenly. Sprinkle with basil, parsley, oregano, fennel, and garlic powder.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove crust from the oven and sprinkle with bell pepper, onion, and tomato. Top with remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese.
• Preheat the oven's broiler. Return cauliflower pizza to oven and broil until cheese has melted and crust is crispy, about 5 minutes.
