Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1.5 pounds cauliflower (florets)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (or 1/3 cup soft cheese)
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/3 cup pesto sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded chicken
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 cups (packed) baby spinach
- 2 garlic cloves (minced )
- 1/3 cup marinara sauce
- 4 oz mozzarella ball (sliced)
- fresh basil leaves
- red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the cauliflower florets from the stem or use frozen and thawed cauliflower florets. Grate them using a food processor or box grater.

Add the cauliflower rice to a microwave safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 4-5 minutes to soften. Alternatively, you could saute the cauliflower rice in a pan on medium heat on the stove for 8-10 minutes. Then let it cool to the touch.
- 3
Transfer the cauliflower rice into a nut milk bag or thin kitchen towel. Drain the cauliflower by squeezing it until all the excess moisture is out. Squeeze as hard as you can!
- 4
Place the drained cauliflower rice in a large mixing bowl. Add the cheese, egg and seasonings. Use your hands to mix everything together to form the pizza dough.
- 5
On a parchment lined baking sheet, press the dough dough down into an even circle. The diameter should be around 9 inches. If you have a pizza stone, that's even better and will produce a crispier crust.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until slightly golden, then remove from oven. You could also bake for 20 minutes and flip the crust over, then bake an additional 5-10 minutes for an even crispier crust.

Add the toppings and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
