Vegan Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Ingredients
-
1 ½
pounds
cauliflower rice/florets (fresh or frozen)
-
3
tablespoons
ground chia or flax seeds
-
½
cup
almond flour or meal
-
½
teaspoon
salt
-
½
teaspoon
garlic powder
-
½
teaspoon
dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw it in the fridge overnight. If using frozen florets, process them in a food processor to make 'rice'.
- If using fresh cauliflower, steam it until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes, then process it to make 'rice'.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from the cauliflower using a dish towel or nut milk bag until you have about ½ cup of liquid.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower with ground flax or chia seeds, almond flour, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well.
- Press the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form a crust, aiming for an even thickness.
- Bake the crust for 45 minutes, checking after 30 minutes to ensure it doesn't burn.
- Optionally, flip the crust over and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes to dry it out further.
- Add your favorite pizza toppings and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes to heat everything through.
- Serve warm and store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
