- 1 cauliflower
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 can tomato paste
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese ((optional))
- 1 handful spinach
- 1/4 cup broccoli florets

- 1 egg
-
Preheat oven to 220°C.
-
Finely chop the cauliflower using a food processor until its rice like texture.
-
Put the chopped cauliflower in a large bowl and microwave for 7-10 minutes or until soft and dry, this is to take out any excess water from the cauliflower.
-
Sautee sliced mushrooms, broccoli florets, peppers, jalapenos, and any other vegetable toppings you would like on your pizza.
-
Once the cauliflower mix has cooled off, mix in 1 cup of grated mozzarella, 1 egg and all the other dry ingredients. Note: you may substitute nutritional yeast or vegan Parmesan cheese for the mozzarella.
-
Put the mixture in the banking tray that has been greased already and use your hands to spread it out so that it covers the tray.
-
Bake the cauliflower base for 10 – 15 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Remove from oven and spread tomato paste on the base.
-
Top with your sauteed vegetables and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and put back in the over for 10 minutes or until you see the cheese bubbling. Note: you may skip the cheese if you want to eliminate the dairy.
-
Remove it from the oven and top with your spinach and serve.
As it goes with pizza, this one is great because you can really put as much or as little as you want on it in terms of toppings. Have fussy eaters? Let them create their own topping mixture!
