The Youngest Senior Citizen Makes...Cauliflower Pizza Crust!

A couple years ago I got this recipe for Cauliflower Pizza Crust from a friend. I kept buying a head of cauliflower, but never took the time grate it to make the pizza crust. I finally decided to try it tonight, but quickly realized that the grater was not my friend. I pulled out my mini food processor and quickly shredded the head of cauliflower. Here's what to do next:

1. Put the cauliflower crumbles in a bowl and heat in the microwave for eight minutes (no water needed)
2. After the cauliflower cools down a bit add an egg, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and mozzarella cheese and mix together. I didn't measure the spices (but if you like measurements check out the recipe)

Shredded cauliflower, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, egg, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese 

3. After you mix this together, take a cookie sheet or a pizza pan, spray with cooking spray, and then make two pizzas. Spray the crusts with a little bit of cooking spray and pop this in a 425 degree oven for 15 minutes.


4. While the pizza bakes, make your pizza sauce (one can of tomato sauce, one can of tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, and a little bit of sugar -or use a store bought pizza sauce) and prepare the rest of your toppings.


5. Once the crust finishes baking, turn your oven to the broiler setting (literally didn't know our oven had this), put on your pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and toppings


6. Place the pizzas under the broiler for 3-4 minutes and then enjoy!


So it doesn't taste like pizza crust, but it doesn't really taste like cauliflower either. It's almost like an eggplant parm/lasagna texture in the shape of a pizza. I really liked it and will definitely try it again with different ingredients. Also, I'm really sorry for how gross our stove looks in these pictures - definitely time to clean it, but we're too busy stuffing our face with pizza.
