So I LOVE pizza. We rarely eat it but splurge every now and then. So I decided to make a clean pizza. So here are then directions and ingredients for the crust, and then I'll explain what I put on it. It is all paleo except for the cheese, but I did manage to find some cheese made with skim milk :-0.
Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, coarsely chopped
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend (fat free)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 eggs
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
1) Place cauliflower pieces through the feeding tube of the food processor using the grating blade; pulse until all the cauliflower is shredded.
2) Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cooled, about 15 minutes.
3) Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
4) Stir Italian cheese blend, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper into cauliflower until evenly incorporated. Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet; press and shape into a pizza crust.
5) Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
I then topped ours with homemade sauce, sautéed veggies (mushrooms, peppers, onions), grilled chicken, fresh parsley, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and then a little more of the cheese. Then baked about 8 more minutes at 450 degrees.
Now, the cauliflower crust doesn't taste exactly like doughy bread (the delicious carbs I crave), but it turned out quite yummy, and made for a pretty yummy pizza fix without the guilt ;-), or calories.
