1 cup of raw or cooked cauliflower has about 5 grams of carbohydrates.
Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower cut into quarters
1 egg lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup pizza sauce
Additional toppings of your choice
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Place cauliflower in a food processor add cauliflower and pulse until it reaches the size of small rice granules.
3. Microwave the riced cauliflower in a bowl for about 5 minutes. No need to add water. After microwaving, transfer riced cauliflower to a fine mesh strainer and drain completely, gently pressing out excess water.
4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup riced, cooked cauliflower, 1 egg and your parmesan cheese. Next, add the Italian seasoning, crushed garlic and salt. Once everything is well mixed, place your “dough” on the cookie sheet and pat out a roughly 9″ round. Be sure not to press it too thin as it’s easy to create holes.
