See a trend? I have learned to swap cauliflower for carbs!

I love my pizza but sometimes want to reduce the carbs and calories of traditional crust, so sometimes I make a Cauliflower Crust Pizza which is a keto pizza crust.

This recipe will satisfy your pizza craving without the added calories and carbs.

In other words, I’ll sacrifice the crust in order to have my pizza – but I’d never made a non-cheese pizza. That’s just crazy talk. Once again, everything tastes better with cheese.

Cheese is such a staple in my household and in our daily meals. Oftentimes I’ve wondered if ‘cheese’ should have it’s own category of recipes here on My Organized Chaos. 

There’s nothing better than the texture, flavour and creamy goodness of cheese.

I recently tried one of these new Armstrong Cheese varieties for this low carb cauliflower pizza crust.

Ingredients Used:

Cheese: I used Armstrong Cheese Monterey Jack with Jalapeno because I like that bit of spice in my foods. I thought the flavour would be absolutely perfect for a pizza. I was sooo right!

You can also use mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.

Cauliflower Florets: A nice swap for those carbs. Instead of regular pizza crust, try this Keto Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe.

I like to grate a head of fresh cauliflower because the price is better than buying pre-riced cauliflower from a grocery store.

Toppings: For this recipe I chose a simple pizza in which the spices, tomatoes and cheese will take the stage. Yet like all pizzas, you can add other vegetables and meats of your choosing. So opt for your own favorite toppings.

How to Make Cauliflower Pizza Crust:

Grate the fresh cauliflower until it resembles bread crumbs. For this I used a cheese grater but you can use a food processor as long as you don’t make the cauliflower too fine.

Next, remove excess moisture with a paper towel. Leaving residual cauliflower water (and thus too much moisture) in the mixture will prevent the crust from dying and forming as it should.

You needn’t get overly picky with this, I squeezed the water out using a paper towel which didn’t take too long. You can also use a clean kitchen towel.

Add the cauliflower into a large bowl and add in the spices and egg to the cauliflower mixture. Combine.

Place mixture on a sheet of parchment paper and press to form a flat circle crust.

Then bake the low carb pizza crust on a baking sheet (pizza pan or pizza stone), until it starts to turn golden brown.

Add Toppings and Bake Again:

The fun part is always dressing that pizza with beautiful delicious toppings.

I used crushed tomatoes as a pizza sauce, cherry tomatoes, basil, oregano, and melty gooey Armstrong Monterey Jack with Jalapeno cheese.

You can also add some garlic powder and Italian seasoning if you want.

Once your pizza has it’s toppings – bake again for a short time until the cheese is melted and the toppings are cooked.

The tastes stand out so well that you’ll forget about the extra hidden vegetable that create the crust.

TIP: Serve this cauliflower pizza recipe with Keto BBQ Sauce for dipping.
