Ingredients
- 1/2 head cauliflower (2 cups riced)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 cup roasted red pepper tomato sauce
- 1 medium summer squash, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms
- 1 cup kale, torn
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a pizza stone or cookie sheet by greasing it well with olive oil.
- 2. Remove the stems and leaves from the cauliflower, and cut it into small pieces. Use a food processor, potato ricer, or cheese grater to break up the cauliflower into bits with a texture similar to rice.
- 3. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the cauliflower for 6–8 minutes, until translucent. Alternatively, microwave the riced cauliflower for 8 minutes.
- 4. Now make the dough together in a large bowl by combining the cooked cauliflower, minced garlic, mozzarella, egg (or ground flax), basil, and oregano.
- 5. Spread the dough out on the prepared stone or pan until it’s about a half-inch thick, 9–10 inches in diameter. Bake the crust for 25–30 minutes. Remove it when it’s golden and crispy.
- 6. Top the crust with tomato sauce, followed by a thin layer of squash, mushrooms, and kale. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and broil in the oven for about 5 minutes. Allow the pizza to cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing and serving.
