A quick and easy low-carb cauliflower pizza crust recipe that is crispy, healthy, and perfect for a guilt-free pizza night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 100g)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Rice the cauliflower by cutting into florets and pulsing in a food processor until it resembles rice grains (about 4 cups). Alternatively, grate finely with a box grater.
  2. Cook the cauliflower rice by microwaving for 4-5 minutes until softened or steaming on the stovetop. Let cool slightly.
  3. Place the warm cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible (2-3 minutes).
  4. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower rice, eggs, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until sticky dough forms.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil it. Press the dough into a 10-inch circle about ¼ inch thick, smoothing edges.
  6. Pre-bake the crust in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes until edges are golden and crust feels firm.
  7. Remove crust from oven, add desired sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese melts and toppings are cooked.
  8. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing to help the crust set.

Notes

Squeezing out moisture thoroughly is key to a crispy crust. Pre-baking the crust before adding toppings prevents sogginess. If crust browns too quickly during final bake, cover loosely with foil. For dairy-free, substitute cheeses and eggs as noted.
