Cauliflower crust pizza

 I found this recipe on skinnymom.com but made a few adjustments so I'll share the ingredients and directions I used.

Pizza crust
  • 1 bag frozen broccoli
  •  2 cups reduced fat mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup turkey pepperoni
  • 1 egg
  • 1tsp oregano
  • 1tsp basil
  • 1tsp garlic powder
  • 1tsp salt 
Pizza sauce
  • 8oz no salt added tomato sauce and then I added in some Italian seasoning, onion flakes, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper. 
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
  2. Microwave cauliflower with 2Tbsp water for 10 minutes
  3. Place cauliflower in food processor and pulse a handful of times until it is a consistency of rice. Make sure not over process as it will be harder to spread.
  4. Place cauliflower on a paper towel to draw up any remaining moisture.
  5. In a bowl mix together cauliflower, 1 cup cheese, egg and spices.
  6. Place a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spray with cooking spray.
  7. Spread cauliflower starting from the outside in. Make sure to spread as thin as possible but not too thin so you don't have any holes.
  8. Bake dough for 25-30 minutes.
  9. Remove crust from oven and top with 8oz pizza sauce (I made my own), 1 cup mozzarella and the pepperoni.
  10. Place back in the oven and bake about 20 minutes. Just check it every five minutes after it has baked for about 10 minutes since all oven are different.
