Ingredients:
- 1 head cauliflower, grated
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup mixed bell peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup red onion, sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cook the Cauliflower: Grate the cauliflower into fine pieces and microwave in a microwave-safe bowl for about 8 minutes, or until softened.
- Remove Excess Moisture: Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure a firm crust.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the grated cauliflower with mozzarella, Parmesan, beaten egg, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Form the Crust: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, shape the cauliflower mixture into a pizza crust, pressing it evenly.
- Bake the Crust: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and crispy.
- Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven, spread the tomato sauce over it, and top with the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and spinach.
- Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the veggies are tender.
- Serve: Slice and serve your healthy cauliflower pizza hot, and enjoy a flavorful, guilt-free meal.
