Healthy Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipes

Grilled Veggie Cauliflower Crust Pizza 🍕🍆🍅 Our (rave-reviewed) cauliflower crust pizza topped with grilled seasonal vegetables for our weekend ahead. SO GOOD! The easiest and, best-tasting cauliflower crust that we’ve tested! It’s nicely crispy, and just the right amount chewy. Great flavor + texture. It’s just really really GOOD.

We have 6 teenagers, and while they might *say* that cauliflower crust pizza “isn’t their thing” …I’ll casually pull one of these out of the oven, and it’s gone 2 minutes later – so you be the judge…😉 Be sure to use YOUR favorite marinara sauce, because that’s where this pizza gets a lot of its flavor! 🍆 Do you have any eggplants growing in your garden this year? If not – no worries, they’re currently in-season and plentiful at the markets. Eggplants are an excellent source of fiber and nutrients. They are botanically closely related to tomatoes and peppers, and really FUN to grow in a home garden because each plant usually produces many beautiful eggplants. Eggplant is called Aubergine in the U.K. and Brinjal in some parts of Asia. ➡️ Make your own delicious marinara sauce When shopping for store-bought sauce: I like to make sure the marinara has no added sugar (tomatoes naturally contain sugar, but there shouldn’t be sugar on the ingredients list) Store-bought jarred marinara sauce, or tomato sauce should only contain just a few simple ingredients such as tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. ➡️ Why Cauliflower?

I’m happy that cauliflower is having a star moment right now. From cauliflower steaks to roasted cauliflower soup, this vegetable can transform into just about anything! But when cauliflower pizza crusts became a thing, I knew I had to whip up a version of my own.

There’s several options when it comes to making cauliflower rice. You can make it from fresh cauliflower, frozen florets, or buy it pre-riced. But if you’re wondering which type of cauliflower is best to use, here’s the answer. After testing all three variations, the consistency turned out pretty much the same for each.

I know pre-riced cauliflower may not be available for many people. So choosing between fresh cauliflower and frozen florets, the frozen florets required the least amount of work (no cutting mess or cooking needed). Thus, it quickly became my favorite method.

Now that you’ve got your cauliflower all prepped, here’s the full recipe on how to make the crust. Watch the tutorial video below to see how I make it step-by-step!

Pro Tip: If you’d like to get your cauliflower crust as crispy as possible, bake it on a pizza stone rather than a baking sheet.

In terms of flavor, the combinations are endless. But, I’ve decided to whip up two of my favorite flavors: pesto chicken and Margherita pizza. You can find the full recipes below, but here’s a quick run down of what ingredients you’ll need.

If you want to meal prep for the week, frozen pizza crusts will be your best friend. Once you’ve baked the crust, let it cool and then place it into an airtight container or freezer safe bags.

Because a large 9-inch round pizza is harder to store, I recommend making two smaller crusts and stacking them on top of each other, with parchment paper in between. Even better, double this recipe and make 4 small crusts for the future. They’ll last for up to 3 months in the freezer.

When you’re ready to make your pizza, just remove it from the freezer, and re-heat it in the oven. Bake it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to thaw, then add your toppings and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cooked through.
