Servings: 2
Calories: 391kcal
Equipment
- cheese cloth or nut milk bag
Ingredients
- 6 cups frozen cauliflower rice approx. two 10 oz. bags
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic herb seasoning or sub Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook the cauliflower rice according to the instructions on the bag(s).
- Pour the cauliflower rice on top of 2 pieces of cheese cloth, or into your nut milk bag, then wait 5 minutes or so for it to cool before squeezing it as hard as you can over your kitchen sink. Essentially, you want to squeeze as much moisture out of the rice as possible. Once you've done that, pour the rice into a large bowl.
- Add the flour, seasoning and salt to the bowl and stir to combine. Crack the egg into a cup and whisk it well, then pour it into the bowl with the rice and stir to combine.
- Use your hands to form the mixture into a ball, then transfer it to the baking sheet. Again, use your hands to form the mixture into a pizza crust, pressing it into a flat, round circle.
- Bake the crust by itself for 15 minutes, then remove it from the oven, add your pizza toppings (like sauce, cheese, pepperoni, spinach, etc.), and bake it again for 10 more minutes. Remove it from the oven and wait a few minutes before slicing and enjoying!
Notes
*Calories are per serving; serving size is half of the pizza (approx. 3-4 slices)
*If you don't own cheese cloth or a nut milk bag, you can pour the cooked cauliflower rice onto 3-4 paper towels to squeeze out the liquid
