Cauliflower is an ingredient that most people love or hate. I love it. It is so versatile and also so good for you. Did you know that one serving of cauliflower has 75% of your daily Vitamin C? Cauliflower is very low calorie, and full of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Cauliflower is a part of the cruciferous family, along with broccoli, arugula, radishes and many more vegetables. In this recipe I used the Riced Cauliflower that I found at Trader Joes. If you cannot find fresh riced cauliflower you can check the frozen section as well (Trader Joe’s has frozen riced cauliflower too!). Don’t worry though, if you can only find a fresh cauliflower it is easy to turn it into pizza. Simply cut all your cauliflower florets off the head and chop it finely, or put the florets into your food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
This recipe is perfect for Meatless Monday. The crust is really easy to put together and you should bake the crusts in advance. Baking the crusts the day before is a great way to save time during the dinner rush. Top your pizza with all your favorite toppings. We love mushrooms on our cauliflower pizza, but it also tastes great with peppers and onions.
