Ultimate Veggie Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipes

VEGETABLE PIZZA ON CAULIFLOWER CRUST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400° F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper; spray paper with cooking spray.
• In 3-quart saucepan, place steamer basket; add 1/2 inch water (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place cauliflower in basket; cover tightly and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; steam covered about 10 minutes or until soft.
• Place cauliflower in large bowl. Using potato masher, gently break cauliflower into rice-sized pieces. Wrap cauliflower in paper towel; squeeze to remove any excess water. Return cauliflower to bowl. Add eggs, cheese, oregano and garlic powder; mix to form soft dough.
• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces; place each on cookie sheet. Using hands, flatten each piece into round about 6 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Spray tops of rounds with cooking spray. Bake 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Turn crusts over; use paper towel to blot away any excess moisture. Spread each crust with pasta sauce. Top each with onion, bell pepper, spinach and olives.
• Return to oven; bake 5 minutes longer or until toppings are warm. Cut each pizza into 4 pieces; serve immediately.

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.
