CAULIFLOWER PIZZA

[KabinKitty 11]

CAULIFLOWER pizza

1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower (steam cauliflower and rice it in food processor or Magic Bullet)

1 egg

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ tsp salt

1 tsp Italian seasonings

1 tsp garlic powder

Mix together and press evenly and thinly onto a sprayed pizza pan or cookie sheet. Additional seasonings can be sprinkled on top of the crust. Cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent edges from browning before the center is crispy. Bake in 450 oven for 12-15 minutes.

Remove from oven and spread with pizza sauce, then toppings (make sure all toppings are already cooked), and then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, and if desired some shredded cheddar cheese. Place back into oven under high broil, just until cheese is melted.

I like to add more seasonings to the “crust”, as the cauliflower has no flavor. This reheats well in the oven or microwave. An average size cauliflower yields about 3 cups after it’s riced.

How much cauliflower and rice do you steam to yeild the 3 cups of riced cauliflower. This sounds GOOD!

There is no rice. You take the cauliflower and run it over a cheese grater to make small "riced" shaped cauliflower that you steam. It should read 3 cups of grated cauliflower.

You will enjoy this!

I did not grate my cauliflower first. I cut the cauliflower into small florets and steamed it till just tender, put a few florets at a time into my Magic Bullet and processed it till it was the consistancy of rice. No rice is used in this recipe. One medium head of cauliflower yeilds about 3 cups of steamed, processed cauliflower. If you use the whole head just increase the mozarella cheese to 3 cups and use 3 eggs. Triple the seasonings or more. This will fill a cookie sheet. Hubby and I ate pizza for a week, so next time I will probably use 2 cups of cauliflower.

I did not own a processer/bullet at the time so the quick and cheap way for me was to grate it. Now I have a bullet so I will try your way. Thanks

This sounds delicious and easy to make!!

Thanks for sharing!

I think I am going to try it soon. I do feel like cooking right now.

The idea of calling it pizza is obviously killing the Italian me () and I have no idea what "Italian seasoning" is, but I guess fresh oreganon will do, won't it?

I am going shopping!!!

First try tonight was a trash. Shame. I am going to try again tomorrow, I think I know what I did wrong, though.

Here is the version on Dr OZ's website:

Ingredients

1 cup cauliflower, grated

1/2 cup shredded light mozzarella cheese

1 egg

1 tsp oregano

2 tsp basil

2 tsp parsley

1/2 tsp fennel

1 green pepper

1 onion

1 Tomato

Garlic powder, to taste

Directions

Chop pepper, onion and tomato. Set aside. Steam the cauliflower, let it cool and then grate it.

Combine grated cauliflower with the mozzarella and egg in a large bowl. Spray a circular or rectangular metal pan with cooking spray before spreading the dough evenly. Sprinkle the dough with fennel, oregano, parsley and basil. Add garlic powder.

Bake at 450° F for 12-15 minutes. Remove the dough from the oven and sprinkle chopped green pepper, onion and tomato, as well as the remaining mozzarella cheese on top. Return the pizza to the oven. Turn the heat up to broil and leave in until the cheese has melted and the crust is crispy.

i did not steam my cauliflower, I chopped it in the magic bullet, I also put a clove of garlic in the cauliflower. I did not add cheese till the end like the above recipe and I DID and WILL always use pizza sauce on it!

I did a blog post about this (and took pictures of how mine turned out)

I have only made it one time because it is almost too veggie heavy for me, I do more Protein less veggies, but it really does help when you are craving pizza!

Mommy, I believe your website is where I found this recipe. Sorry for not giving you props for it.

I find it very filling and can only eat one or two little squares. It keeps well in the fridge though!

It is SO yummy! One gal at work tried it and said she and her hubby liked it also.
