Cauliflower Pizza Crust


In all my efforts to do somewhat of a life overhaul this year (or so I've coined it, though I'm sure it won't be nearly as dramatic), I promise I won't turn this into a sap story of a journal where I torment you with my trials and tribulations.  Onto more fun topics.  Cauliflower pizza crust.

I first heard of this wondrous recipe from Dr. Oz, then later saw it pop up in my Google reader from Beth, and as I'm known for not keeping carbs in my house (I'm still teased over this point by my foodie friend who at one point was looking through my cabinets practically screaming "WHERE ARE YOUR CARBS?!"), I thought it only apropos I make a low-carb pizza crust right?

And the results were so tasty I had to share.  It's definitely different from your standard pizza crust, but it fulfilled my pizza craving just the same.   And the crust itself is really flavorful, as the mozzarella and herbs really shine through. The cauliflower doesn't distract from all the other familiar flavors of pizza, and the bonus is it won't weigh you down either.  I found the recipe below was perfect for two to share for dinner.

I topped ours with thinly sliced chicken sausage, caramelized onions, and spinach.  YUM!

I've had this recipe on my pinterest board for a while now, and still haven't gotten around to trying it!

Glad to hear it turned out so well! It looks great.

That actually looks and sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to have to give it a try. I love chicken sausage and spinach on my pizza when I make it at home - I add broccoli too!

I just pinned a recipe similar to this! Gluten-free too! Yours looks lovely and delicious. :)

Sounds very interesting. I don't know how your hubby survives in a house where there are no-carbs. My boyfriend would never allow such a thing. Although from the sound of the potato convo we had yesterday, I'm thinking he may be a part of the reason?

I have something like this pinned...so glad to know you liked it! I was going to try it one night...and then it seemed like so much work.

Beth said...

It's great, right?! I'm going to experiment with it soon (after baby arrives!) and make a few changes to help crisp it up a bit more. I'll let you know how it goes!

Tess said...

WHOA. That pizza looks really good - I can't believe you made it from cauliflower. Who woulda thunk?
