Cauliflower Pizza Crust ~ Gluten Free

I love pizza! One of my favorite go to quick and easy meals. I used to make the homemade kind right from making my own crust in the stand mixer and then adding tons of tasty toppings. Then my son wouldn't eat the pizza if it was homemade and I really didn't feel like spending all that time making the crust etc if he wasn't going to eat it. He said it was the sauce... hmm. Anyways now that I am working on eating less starchy carbs I have been on the hunt for anything that is tasty, clean, and easy to make. This recipe fits all those. There are many cauliflower crust recipes all over the internet and it really is very versatile. You just play around with the ingredients for the crust and toppings of your choice. I know I will be making different ones and will share if you would like. Let me know in the comments below.

Here is the pizza I made just recently.

Ingredients:

medium to large head of cauliflower
3 large eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp taco seasoning
1 tsp Parmesan & herbs seasoning by Club House

Toppings
lean ground turkey - 1/2 lb
pizza sauce
onions
yellow pepper
mushrooms
spinach
old cheddar cheese

You will need cheese cloth to squeeze out the liquid from the cauliflower.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Wash, dry and chop cauliflower into small florets.
3. Place half the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse to a very fine crumble. Add remaining cauliflower to food processor and pulse until super crumbly.
4. Once cauliflower is all crumbled put it into the cheese cloth and squeeze! Squeeze as much of the liquid out of the cauliflower as you can. This is super important to get a crust that holds together and isn't soggy. (I am speaking from experience - do not skip the cheese cloth stage!)
5. Now that you have the cauliflower squeezed dry as you can you can add the following - 3 eggs, garlic & onion powder, taco seasoning and parmesan & herb seasoning. Mix well.
6. Spray a pizza sheet or cookie sheet and press cauliflower mixture into pan in a thin layer.
7. Cook crust in oven for 40 to 45 minutes on 350F.

8. Once your crust is baked add toppings. I browned my lean ground turkey while the crust was in the oven. Crumble ground turkey on crust over pizza sauce.
9. Bake crust with toppings for another 5-10 minutes to melt cheese and warm toppings.
10. Enjoy!

The best part of this pizza is that it is 21 Day Fix approved and it is Gluten Free!
