Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs, similar to rice.
- Transfer the cauliflower crumbs to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until tender.
- Let the cauliflower cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, egg, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it into a thin, even crust shape.
- Bake the cauliflower crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
- Spread the low-carb pizza sauce evenly over the cauliflower crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce, then add your choice of keto-friendly toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
