Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower about 4 cups riced
  • 1 large egg or flax egg for vegan
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Rice the cauliflower using a food processor until it resembles fine crumbs.
  • Spread cauliflower on the baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Let it cool.
  • Transfer cooled cauliflower to a nut milk bag or clean towel and wring out as much water as possible.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower with egg, parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
  • Line a new baking sheet with parchment paper. Press the cauliflower dough into a thin, even 10–12" circle (¼ inch thick).
  • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and crisp around the edges.
  • Add desired toppings, then return to the oven for 10 minutes or broil until bubbly and golden.

Notes

  • For a vegan crust, replace egg with flax egg and use vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast.
  • Don’t skip squeezing the cauliflower—moisture ruins crispiness!
  • Crust can be made ahead, baked, and frozen for up to 3 months.
  • For flavor variety, add chopped herbs or red pepper flakes to the dough.
