Mediterranean Cauliflower Crust Pizza

The Mediterranean flavor combo on this pizza is seriously something else, and the crust is so good you won’t notice you’re eating cauliflower! I used nutritional yeast in it, making it dairy free, but I added goat cheese on top - it’s called balance! You can dress your pizza with whatever toppings you’d like and it’ll still taste amazing with this killer base. I love making my own crust because I know exactly what is in it & can keep grain free (aka guilt free).

P.S. I got all these ingredients from Trader Joe’s!

Here’s how you make it:

Ingredients:

• Cauliflower Rice (I used the whole bag of fresh rice from TJs)

• 1/4 cup almond meal

• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast or parmesan

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 cup pizza sauce - I used tomato sauce, garlic, dried oregano, & salt 

• Roasted red pepper sliced

• Kalamata olives sliced

• Artichoke hearts sliced

• Pancetta - optional

• Goat cheese

• Arugula

• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 430 and let your baking sheet heat in it for 10 minutes. 

• Microwave your cauliflower rice for about 2.5 minutes and let cool. Use a towel to squeeze out the extra liquid. Combine the crust ingredients and shape on your baking sheet. Make sure to oil it or use parchment paper. 

•  Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes (for extra crisp). Take out of the oven, add your sauce and toppings, and bake for another 10 minutes (cheese should start to brown). If using arugula add now and top with some olive oil & enjoy!
