Equipment

  • 1 Baking Pan
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Cauliflower Rice
  • 3 Eggs
  • ⅓ Cup Roughly Chopped Basil
  • ¼ Cup Coconut Flour
  • 3 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper

Topping Suggestions

  • Pizza Sauce
  • Sauteed Vegetables
  • Dairy-Free Cheese

Instructions
 

Cauliflower Rice

  • Start by chopping the head of cauliflower in half and then cut one half into similarly sized pieces.
  • Add about 1 cup of roughly chopped cauliflower into the food processor. Pulse on and off until it becomes a “rice” consistency. Repeat until you have enough for the recipe! 

Pizza Crust

  • Next, add cauliflower rice, eggs, avocado oil, chopped basil, coconut flour, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper into a large bowl. Use a spatula to stir together until it becomes a thick pasty consistency.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the cauliflower mixture in the center. Use a spatula to carefully flatten out the crust into a circle. Leave the edges a little higher for the crust.
  • Bake the cauliflower crust at 375 degrees for 25 minutes then remove from the oven and add the sauce and toppings. Place back in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper! This will prevent the pizza crust from sticking.
  • To avoid a soggy pizza crust, you must bake the crust before adding on any toppings. This will ensure you have a nice crispy crust!
  • Use a pizza cutter! It works great for making perfect pizza slices.
  • Make sure the crust isn't too thick in the center because it will rise slightly in the oven. Press down with a silicone spatula.

How to Store & Reheat Leftovers

Leftovers will store well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days!
I stack the slices in a large glass Tupperware container, you can use parchment paper to keep them from touching. You can also wrap them in tin foil or a reusable wrap.
To re-heat, I recommend baking the pizza slices for a few minutes in your oven, toaster oven, or air fryer.
