Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Steam the florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the cauliflower crust

    Once steamed, let the cauliflower cool slightly, then pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

  3. 3

    Combine ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the crust

    Line a 10-inch pizza pan with parchment paper. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the pan and press it down firmly to form an even crust.

  5. 5

    Bake the crust

    Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Topping Application

  1. 6

    Add sauce

    Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven. Spread the red pizza sauce evenly over the crust.

  2. 7

    Add cheese

    Sprinkle the smoked Provolone cheese over the red sauce, ensuring even coverage.

  3. 8

    Add vegetables and sausage

    Top with freshly cut green bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and crumbled plant-based sausage, distributing them evenly.

  4. 9

    Final bake

    Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 10

    Cool and serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
