Method
Crust Preparation
- 1
Prepare Cauliflower
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse and dry the cauliflower, then cut it into florets. Use a food processor to rice the cauliflower until it resembles a fine texture.

Cook Cauliflower
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover it. Microwave on high for about 5-6 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- 3
Drain Excess Moisture
Once cooled, place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a crispy crust.

Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Form the Crust
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the parchment and shape it into a 12-inch round crust, pressing it down to ensure it's compact.

Bake the Crust
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is firm.
