Instructions:
- Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they achieve a rice-like consistency.
- Place the processed cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 5-8 minutes until soft. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Transfer the steamed cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure a crispy crust.
- In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, cheddar cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil. Place the cauliflower mixture on the sheet and shape it into a pizza crust, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Slice the zucchini into thin rounds.
- Chop the red pepper into small pieces.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the zucchini and red pepper to the skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Remove the baked crust from the oven.
- Evenly spread the sautéed vegetables over the crust.
- Distribute the sliced chili chicken over the vegetables.
- Top with halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh spinach.
- Drizzle the baked pizza with a tablespoon of vinegar for a tangy finish.
- Slice the pizza and serve hot. Enjoy your healthy and delicious cauliflower pizza with chili chicken and feta!
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is grated finely and squeeze out as much water as possible to get a crispier crust.
- Use parchment paper on your baking tray to prevent the cauliflower crust from sticking.
- Pre-cook the chicken with chili powder and garlic to infuse it with more flavor.
- Bake the cauliflower crust separately before adding toppings for a sturdier base.
- Feel free to add more vegetables like mushrooms or olives to enhance the flavor and nutritional value.
- Monitor the baking time as it may vary depending on your oven's performance.
