You HAVE to try cauliflower crust supreme pizza!
If you've been following the low carb diet for a while, then you know how important it is to find healthier alternatives to your favorite meals. Pizza can be a really tough one for people to let go of–and we certainly don't blame you! What's not to love about a perfectly cooked slice of pizza? While traditional pizza contains a ton of carbs (all that white all-purpose flour used to make most pizza crusts is loaded with carbohydrates), with a few minor adjustments, you can still enjoy a slice without worrying about blowing your whole diet. We can show you how!
This cauliflower crust supreme pizza recipe is just the solution you've been waiting on. There's still the same great flavors you love, minus a few unnecessary carbs- no flour in this recipe! Instead, we use cauliflower to make the pizza crust which is a completely game-changing way to make pizza.
The cauliflower crust allows you to still have a similar taste and texture that a regular pizza crust has. You actually make a dough out of the cauliflower, shape it and bake. Simply pulse the cauliflower into rice-like grains so it can be easily shaped into a crust. If you have ever made low-carb cauliflower rice, then you already know how to do this step. If you haven't made cauliflower rice, we strongly suggest you give it a try- its also a fantastic way to enjoy a low-carb version of your favorite foods and rice pairs well with so many dishes!
Once you have the cauliflower rice and have blended it with the other crust ingredients, then simply add the toppings and bake. It's really that easy! The crust turns a beautiful golden brown in the oven and you will think that you are looking at a regular, traditional pizza rather than one with almost no carbs!
In addition to being low carb and keto-approved, cauliflower is super healthy in a variety of ways. Cauliflower is high in fiber and also B vitamins. It has many antioxidants that have been shown to help reduce the risks of cancer and the choline in cauliflower has been shown to help improve memory. That is good because you are going to want to memorize this recipe since you will likely be making it all the time!
Of course, another great thing about this recipe is that it can be customized to suit your taste preferences. Just make sure the toppings stay low carb. In just a few minutes, you can enjoy your very own slice of homemade pizza. How neat is that?
It's easy to be tempted by ordering in. However, as this recipe proves, you can easily curb your cravings while sticking to low carb solutions. All it takes are a few minor adjustments, and you can still indulge in the flavors you love the most.
Make this recipe for yourself and see just how much you love it. The recipe is simple to follow, there are fewer carbs and a whole lot of flavor! Save this one for later–you definitely need to try it!
