Healthy Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe | Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free

May 22, 2018 Leave a Comment

Jump to recipe

After making this recipe at least 5 times, I’m finally ready to share my new favorite pizza crust….and it’s made from cauliflower! I always wanted to try a cauliflower crust but felt it was too time-consuming, from cutting up a head of cauliflower to mincing it with the food processor and steaming it – all before you even begin making the recipe. However, the Paleo crust I had been making was simply too ‘heavy’ and dense (it was almond and coconut flour along with eggs, so pretty fat- and calorie-dense, despite being better than regular flour).

So, I finally decided to give a healthy cauliflower pizza crust a try – the only problem was, the recipe I ended up using was so different from a ‘normal’ pizza crust that I didn’t want to replace our Friday night pizza with it. We eat really clean at least 80-90% of the week, and we all look forward to our pizza tradition on Fridays, so while I didn’t want to give up hope on finding a good cauliflower pizza crust recipe, I knew the one we tried wasn’t *it*. Fast forward a few weeks and I was ready to give it another try, but this time I researched different cauliflower crust recipes and decided to formulate my own. I’ve been making it for over a month now and it’s turned out great every time, so I’m looking forward to sharing this healthy cauliflower pizza crust recipe with y’all since there’s nothing better than enjoying a delicious pizza that happens to be better for you! And the best part is, you can use frozen riced cauliflower, which cuts the prep time down significantly!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups uncooked riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 egg or for a completely vegan crust, use an egg replacer, such as Energ-G or VeganEgg
  • 1/3 cup vegan cheese (I use Daiya brand - optional for Paleo/W30)
  • Dash of Italian seasoning and garlic

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Prepare your cauliflower. If fresh, chop and mince in food processor until it resembles rice then cook on stovetop until translucent and soft. If you have frozen riced cauliflower, you can cook on stovetop or in microwave according to package directions.
  3. Lay out a hand towel (the flour sack/tea towel type work best) and pour cooked cauliflower in middle of towel. Allow to cool.
  4. Once cauliflower is cool enough to handle, grab the edges of the towel, twist and squeeze to get all of the excess water out. The cauliflower will condense down quite a bit!
  5. In a medium-sized bowl, add the drained cauliflower, almond flour and egg and mix well. Then, add in the vegan cheese and stir (or omit entirely - it does seem to hold the crust together a bit better as it melts, but it would work without it, too!).
  6. Cover a flat pizza pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  7. Pour crust mixture onto center of pan and begin flattening until about 1/3" thick and use your hands to build up the edge a bit (this will help your toppings stay put and make it resemble a normal pizza).
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crust begins turning golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven, add thin layer of tomato sauce (the trick is to not put too much to avoid sogginess), toppings and vegan cheese and return to oven for 15 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and allow to cool a bit before slicing.
  11. Enjoy!

Healthy Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe

Healthy Cauliflower Pizza Crust RecipeI told my husband the other day that I don’t even miss ‘real’ pizza because this one has so much flavor and a great consistency, too. I will mention that the recipe above can feed 2-3 people, but for a family, it’s best to double the recipe (especially if you want leftovers – and yes, it tastes great reheated!). Since we make pizza weekly, I’ve been buying my frozen riced cauliflower at Costco – it’s cheaper than the grocery store and goes a lot farther!

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️

@prolonfmd Day One | The struggle is real 😅 I’ve done cleanses in the past so I’m no stranger to this…but coming off a few weeks of holiday drinks and some indulgences, today was no easy feat 🤣 My energy definitely ebbed and flowed throughout the day, and felt weak and nauseated every now and then from lack of calories and protein 🙈 It was the longest day ever, but I cleaned, vacuumed, mopped and then did a @onepeloton walk & yoga class and still had time left over (side note, why doesn’t every day feel this long?! 😆). Actually feeling good this evening after having a sparkling water ‘mocktail’, energized and clear-minded 👌🏼

2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so ma 2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so many ways, but I also thrived in many ways. Continuing to grow a business with a husband, three kids, a dog and two cats is not a simple feat but here we are 😏 We adventured a LOT this year - from Girl Scout adventures to family vacations to HHI, the mountains, OBX and more, we had plenty of fun and made lots of memories 😘 The best part of this year was just really allowing myself to live in the moment and not allow stress to overtake me as I’ve allowed it in the past 😅 I also rediscovered my love of running thanks to my @onepeloton Tread and hit big goals at @purebarre_highlandcreek 💪🏼 Here’s to living more in the present, accomplishing bigger goals and dreams and having an amazing 2023 🥂
