I have been seeing recipes with cauliflower used as the base for a pizza crust for some time now.  When I spotted this recipe on Super Healthy Kids Facebook Page, I knew I had to try it.

It was good!  I put it out along with some other pizzas we were having.  Anna gave it a medium to high thumbs-up, Little D didn’t try it and both my husband and I liked it.  I didn’t chop the cauliflower before steaming (I’m such a rebel) and it still turned out.  I served it with this quick-made sauce adapted from Cooking Light’s Real Family Food.

For more details on the recipes (including step-by-step pictures) check out the original on Super Healthy Kids.  Anyone cook with cauliflower this way?

Total time
1 hour
 
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 cauliflower head
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • Marinara Sauce
  • 14 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
Instructions
  1. lean the cauliflower and chop into small pieces. Put into a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
  2. Boil about one inch of water in a large saucepan and then add the cauliflower, covering, for about 5 minutes (watch it). Strain with a mesh strainer and set aside to cool. Once cooled, squeeze as much water as you can out of the cauliflower using a clean dish towel.
  3. Preheat oven to 425F. In a large bowl place cauliflower and add ½ cup mozzarella, egg and spices. Mix well. Place the mixture on parchment paper with cooking spray and form a rectangle using your hands. Bake for 30 minutes.
  4. While the cauliflower is cooking make the sauce. Place the tomatoes, oil, dried oregano, salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth.
  5. After 30 minutes is reached, take out the cauliflower crust and add the rest of the Mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup) and put it back in the oven for another 7 to 10 minutes.
  6. Cut cauliflower into sticks and serve with the marinara sauce.

    Maryann, this is such a great and inventive way to get in more vegetables.

    When I first saw this I thought that there is no possible way that this could work or be any good.

    Once I started reading through the instructions I began to see the potential. Now I’m thinking that this is something I need to try.

    Question for you…have you tried freezing these at all? I was thinking that it might be good to prepare double batches and freeze one for later.

    I like this as a healthy and different appetizer option. I will have to test it out soon and put it on the list for my next dinner party.

      No. I don’t freeze much and have only made them a couple of times. Let me know how they turn out!
