A quick and easy low-carb cauliflower crust pizza featuring a melty three-cheese blend that delivers a crispy yet tender crust, perfect for busy weeknights or guilt-free comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower (about 4 cups riced cauliflower)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the crust)
  • Optional toppings: low-carb pizza sauce, extra shredded cheese, pepperoni, veggies, fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Rice the cauliflower by chopping into chunks and pulsing in a food processor until it resembles rice (about 4 cups). Alternatively, grate using a box grater.
  2. Steam the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl covered loosely for 4-5 minutes until softened. Let cool slightly. Alternatively, steam on stovetop for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the cooled cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring firmly to remove as much moisture as possible.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, beaten eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir until evenly incorporated.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Spread the cauliflower mixture into a thin, even circle about 10-12 inches in diameter, pressing firmly.
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden and crisp, brushing lightly with olive oil halfway through baking.
  7. Remove crust from oven, spread your favorite low-carb pizza sauce evenly, then sprinkle additional mozzarella and desired toppings.
  8. Return pizza to oven and bake another 8-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and melted.
  9. Let pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing to help crust firm up.

Notes

Make sure to wring out the cauliflower thoroughly to prevent sogginess. Brush olive oil halfway through baking to encourage browning. Let pizza cool before slicing for best crust texture. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep crust crispy.
