Basil Cauliflower Pizza | Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body
Ingredients:
| cauliflower crust | |
| 4 | makes individual pizzas |
| 2 | eggs |
| 2 cups | mozzarella cheese |
| 2 cups | riced cauliflower (grate the raw cauliflower on a cheese grater or in a food processor) |
| 2 | garlic cloves, minced |
| 1/4 cup | fresh julienned basil |
| pizza toppings | |
| 1 cup | marinara sauce (1/4 cup per pizza) |
| 1 | zucchini, thinly sliced |
| 1 | yellow zucchini, thinly sliced |
| 1/2 | white onion, thinly sliced |
| basil ricotta (recipe below) | |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, spray with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine riced cauliflower, basil, eggs and mozzarella. Divide into 4 amounts and press evenly on the parchment paper.
*you can omit the basil or sub it for others herbs of your choice.
Bake the crusts at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
*I went for about 13 minutes and wish I had gone to 15 minutes. But that’s just a taste preference.
Remove the cookie sheet from the oven.
Add marinara sauce to each pizza.
Then add toppings: sliced zucchini and sliced onions.
Drop the basil ricotta cheese on the vegetables by spoonfuls (I used a small cookie scoop). I pressed down slightly on the ricotta so it would be a little flatter.
Place back in the oven until cheese is melted, about 5 – 10 minutes.
