A crispy, low-carb cauliflower pizza crust recipe that is easy to make, keto-friendly, and perfect for a healthier pizza alternative with a deliciously crispy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rice the cauliflower by removing leaves and core, then pulse florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains (about 4 cups). Alternatively, grate with a box grater.
  3. Steam the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl, covered, for 4-5 minutes until soft. Let cool slightly.
  4. Transfer the warm cauliflower onto a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and twist/squeeze firmly to remove as much moisture as possible.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, eggs, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well until a sticky dough forms.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil it. Spread the cauliflower mixture into a 10-12 inch circle, pressing evenly and compacting the edges.
  7. Bake the crust for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown and crust feels firm.
  8. Remove the crust, add your favorite low-carb toppings and cheese, then bake for another 8-10 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
  9. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing to help the crust hold together.

Notes

Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower to avoid soggy crust. Brush olive oil on edges before baking for extra crispiness. If crust feels soft after baking, return to oven for 5-7 minutes. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking. Let crust cool before slicing.
