Vegan Cauliflower
Pizza Crust
Ingredients:
- 1 medium cauliflower head, florets only
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: tomato sauce, vegan cheese, vegetables, herbs
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped and resemble rice.
- Transfer the cauliflower “rice” to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can steam the cauliflower on the stovetop until tender.
- Once the cauliflower is cooked, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieving a firm pizza crust.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, ground flaxseed, nutritional yeast, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a round pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. At this point, you can add your desired toppings, such as tomato sauce, vegan cheese, and vegetables.
- Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
The cauliflower base provides a light and crispy texture, while the seasonings add flavor and aroma. Feel free to get creative with your choice of toppings to make your own customized low-carb pizza creation.
