Cauliflower Pizza Base

Ingredients

Base

• 3 cups cauliflower rice

• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

• 1 egg

• 1 teaspoon Italian herbs

• Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

• Pizza sauce

• Mozzarella

• Fresh basil

• Chilli flakes

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C and line a tray with baking paper.

2. Microwave the cauliflower rice for 4 to 5 minutes until soft. Allow to cool slightly, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean tea towel. This step is key for a crispy base.

3. Add cauliflower rice to a bowl with parmesan, egg, Italian herbs and salt. Mix until well combined.

4. Press mixture onto the lined tray into a round pizza shape, about 1 cm thick.

5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden and firm.

6. Remove from oven, add pizza sauce and toppings of choice.

7. Return to oven for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Top with fresh basil and chilli flakes if you like a little heat.
