Ingredients:

For the Cauliflower Crust:

1 medium head cauliflower, florets separated
1 egg
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Pizza:

1/2 cup tomato sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Assorted vegetable toppings (such as bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach, cherry tomatoes, etc.)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice-like grains.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower.
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, shredded mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Press the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round pizza crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until it’s golden and firm.
Remove the cauliflower crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Arrange your preferred vegetable toppings over the cheese.
Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
