PREPARATION

  • Preheat the oven: Set to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the cauliflower: If using fresh cauliflower, pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. If using frozen, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture using a cheesecloth or towel.
  • Make the crust: In a bowl, mix the riced cauliflower with almond flour, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Shape into a small circle on the baking tray.
  • Bake the crust: Bake for 10-12 minutes until firm and slightly golden. Remove from the oven.
  • Add the toppings: Spread tomato sauce over the crust, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and add any additional seasonings or toppings.
  • Bake again: Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve hot: Garnish with fresh basil or chilli flakes and enjoy.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

15-20 minutes

TIPS

  • Remove excess moisture: Squeeze the cauliflower thoroughly to prevent a soggy crust.
  • Use parchment paper: Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Crispier crust: Bake slightly longer before adding toppings for a firmer texture.
  • Customise toppings: Try adding olives, mushrooms or grilled chicken for extra flavour.
  • Make it in batches: Prep multiple crusts and freeze them for quick meals later.

VARIATIONS

  • Make it dairy-free: Use vegan cheese or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour.
  • Add protein: Top with cooked chicken, pepperoni or crumbled tofu.
  • Go spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • Extra herbs: Fresh rosemary or thyme adds an aromatic twist.
  • Swap almond flour: Use coconut flour or grated Parmesan for a different texture.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze the baked crusts (without toppings) for up to 1 month.
  • Reheating: Reheat in an oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes or until crispy.
