You will however see a difference in the calorie and carb intake! This Margherita Pizza with Cauliflower Crust has around 200 caloriesand only 10 carbsper serving!

If you prefer pictures instead, I’ve got step by step pics on how to make this as well as a full printable recipe at the end. 🙂
I started making pizza with a cauliflower crust almost 2 years ago after I went Gluten free in my diet. Over the last 2 yearsoftweaking the recipe several times, I finally have it down to perfection!

Honestly I thought my pizza eating days were over after going Gluten free. I tried several kinds of frozen Gluten free pizzas and they tasted like cardboard. If you’ve tried any of those, than you know what I mean!
You don’t need to be Gluten free to enjoy this pizza. In fact my 13 year old ‘picky eater’ son LOVES this pizza! He asks me to make it for him all the time, even though he says he doesn’t like cauliflower, ha! Anytime I can get him to eat vegetables and like it is good enough for me! 🙂
Now once you have the cauliflower pizza crust baked. Go ahead and add your favorite pizza sauce or my super yummymarinara sauce. Just sayin’! 🙂

Then just add the sliced Roma Tomatoes and the fresh Basil on top. I just love the smell of fresh Basil, don’t you?
Next top with your favorite Mozzarella cheese and bake 10 to 15 minutes longer until the cheese is nice and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Then sit back and enjoy every low carb slice of goodness! Since it’s so low in carbs, you could even indulge in a glass of wine, or two, or three… 🙂

This Margherita Pizza with Cauliflower Crust tastes just like pizza without all of the calories or carbs! It’s a great Gluten Free option as well! This is seriously, hands down, the best pizza I’ve ever had that’s Gluten free!As a low carb alternative to regular pizza, this recipe uses a mixture of cauliflower, cheese, and eggs to form the crust. Use your favorite toppings or add tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and sliced basil for a Margherita style pizza.
Cauliflower Pizza With Tomato And Mozzarella
PHOTOS NOTES & TIPS(1) Cauliflower Florets. About 1 small-medium head of cauliflower. You can cut florets from a head of cauliflower, or you can buy a 12-ounce bag of pre-cut raw florets located in the refrigerated produce section of many U.S. grocery stores. These florets will then be grated in Step 2 of this recipe. I don’t recommend using bags of pre-riced cauliflower because different brands vary a lot in the size of the individual cauliflower “rice” pieces, and they’re usually much larger compared to home grated cauliflower. You want to use smaller pieces for this recipe because they’ll combine better with other ingredients to form a smooth pizza crust. Moreover, freshly grated cauliflower will more readily absorb salt and release liquid (see Step 2 of this recipe) compared to pre-riced varieties.
(2) Cheddar Cheese. About 2 ounces weight. This can be substituted with any kind of shredded soft cheese that melts easily, like shredded mozzarella, pepper jack, or provolone.
(3) Parmesan Cheese. This is finely grated parmesan that has a sandy or almost powdery texture, not shredded, often available in pre-grated bags in the refrigerated section of U.S. grocery stores. This can be substituted with similar cheeses like pecorino romano or asiago.

(4) Mozzarella Cheese. About 1 ounce weight. This is fresh, soft mozzarella cheese that can be sliced into thin rounds, not the shredded type.
(5) Basil. I use fresh basil leaves. To slice into strips, place the leaves on top of each other into 1 large stack, roll the stack into a log, and thinly slice starting at one end of the log until you end up with many thin strips.
(6) Baking Sheet. Use flat bakeware that is large enough to hold a 9 to 10 inch pizza. Line with an oven-safe nonstick surface like parchment paper or a baking mat, so that the pizza can easily slide from the bakeware after baking. Don’t use wax paper, which is not oven-safe.

(7) Squeezing Moisture. This is an important step because raw cauliflower has a lot of moisture that should be removed for a crisper pizza crust. The less liquid the crust contains, the faster it will crisp in the oven. Use a nut milk bag, cheese cloth, or a tea towel to wring moisture from the freshly grated and salted cauliflower.
(9) Similar Recipe. Another low carb pizza option is using a crust composed of almond flour, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and egg (see Keto Pizza Recipe). It yields a crisp and sturdy crust that can hold heavier toppings than this cauliflower-based crust.
