Can't WAIT to try: Cauliflower Pizza Crust →

fitvillains:

WINNER. Absolute WINNER of a recipe.

A serving is only 200 calories, it’s low sodium (AND low fat) and you can have THREE (yes 3!) pieces per serving. Goes REALLY well with a fresh green salad and will fill you up nicely.

Keep in mind that nutritional data WILL change depending on what you put on the pizza, so stick with veggies that add flavor & cheeses that are low in fat.

This recipe makes 4 servings. (cut in fourths) and takes about 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

Dough

• 2 cups Riced Cauliflower (Cauliflower grated to rice size)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup Skim Mozzarella Cheese
• Oregano

Toppings

• Low-sodium/low-fat pizza sauce.
• 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Veggies of choice: Red Onion, Red Pepper, Green Pepper, Garlic & Mushrooms…

Crust Directions

Preheat oven to 450. In a microwave safe bowl, cover riced cauliflower and cook in microwave for 2 minutes. Mix in the 2 eggs & 1 cup cheese until dough-y. Spread whole mixture on a piece of parchment paper & place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with oregano. 

Bake crust in oven for around 15 minutes.

Toppings:

While crust is baking, chop & sautee desired veggies with one tbsp of olive oil over medium heat, 3-5 minutes.

After 15 minutes, remove crust from oven. Top with pizza sauce, veggies & cheese. Eat as is (the cheese will melt) or bake 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted on top.

Slice into fourths & serve.

(Psst: Pesto is a GREAT substitute for pizza sauce. It’s high flavor, so no need to put too much on). The dough can also be cut up and served like bread sticks, if you add a little garlic. :)
