Deep Dish Cauliflower Crust Pizza



For the Crust:

  • 1 - 16 oz. bag riced cauliflower
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400F.

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, eggs, seasonings and cheeses.  Stir to combine and mix well.

Lightly oil a 12" oven-proof skillet.  Pour the cauliflower mixture into the pan and use your hands to make the crust, getting it up the sides of the pan.  Bake until golden, 30 minutes.



Toppings:

  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/4 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp. chopped garlic
  • olive oil
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup turkey pepperoni, thinly sliced
  • 5 pieces Canadian bacon, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
While the crust is baking, heat a small amount of olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat.  Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and cook, until softened, about 5 minutes.  Season with salt & freshly ground black pepper and set aside.

When the crust is cooked through, top it with the pizza sauce, cheeses and toppings and cook until warmed through, 10 minutes.

Let rest for 2-3 minutes.  Slice up and enjoy!!!

NOTE:  You really can use any toppings you want!
