Cauliflower Pizza Base
When I first heard about a pizza base being made out of cauliflower I was a bit sceptical, I mean a pizza is meant to be junk food right? Well guess what it doesn't have to be, this recipe seriously works it is delicious. Give this Cauliflower pizza base a go you wont be disappointed!
Ingredients
- Cauliflower - 650g piece (trimmed and chopped)
- Egg - 1 lightly whisked
- Parmesan Cheese - 3/4 cup finely grated
- Parsley - Handful (chopped fine) - Optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220 degrees
- Pop cauliflower into a food processor or Thermomix and blitz until finely chopped.
- Add cauliflower to a microwave container with lid on and cook on high for 8 - 10 minutes.
- NOTE: This next step is important as you don't want your pizza base t be soggy. Place cooked cauliflower through a fine sieve, press down and make sure to press out all liquid!
- Combine the cauliflower, egg. parsley and parmesan to a bowl and mix well.
- Press the mixture firmly onto the pizza tray, spreading out evenly. Make sure you press the mixture so it stays together.
- Pop in the oven for 20 minutes or until starting to brown
- Add your favorite toppings then pop back in the oven for another 8 minutes.

You may want to update the allergens listing to include dairy as parmesan is a key ingredient 🙂

Do you think we could adapt the recipe using frozen already riced cauliflower?
