Grilled Veggie Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Pizza Crust:

  • 1 medium cauliflower broken into florets
  • ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 Tbsps chopped fresh oregano or 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

For the topping:

  • 15 oz marinara sauce
  • ½ medium eggplant sliced
  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil OR olive oil, plus extra for greasing the grill
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • a few sliced olives
  • ⅔ cup mozzarella shredded
  • ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • ½ small bunch basil leaves picked

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees f. and line a 12-inch round pizza baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Place your cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until it resembles a fine meal. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add in the mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, oregano, sea salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine.
  • Place the cauliflower mixture onto your prepared baking tray and form it into a ½-inch-thick circle. Make sure the edges are not thinner than the center or they may brown too fast.
  • Bake your crust at 425 degrees f. for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  • Meanwhile, heat a grill pan or an outside grill over medium-high heat.
  • Drizzle the eggplant and onion slices with oil and season with sea salt and pepper. Gently rub to coat both sides.
  • Grill your veggies for 2-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear.
  • Once your cauliflower crust is done, remove from the oven and layer the marinara sauce over the crust.
  • Top your pizza with the grilled veggies and olives as desired.
  • Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted and golden brown.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves and enjoy!
