Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, 1/3 cup almonds, egg white, and cheddar cheese.
- Mix in the fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon of the lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of the grated parmesan cheese.
- Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Using your hands or a spatula, press the mixture into a circular pizza crust shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
- While the crust is baking, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese, and the 2 tablespoons of sliced almonds in a small bowl.
- Once the crust is ready, remove it from the oven.
- Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the hot crust.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the almonds are lightly toasted and the cheese is melted.
Tips:
- Make sure to dry the cauliflower well after processing and before mixing with other ingredients to avoid a soggy crust.
- You can toast the almonds beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor and add an extra layer of crunch to your pizza.
- Feel free to customize the toppings to your preference—add some fresh arugula, cherry tomatoes, or even some extra cheese for added flavor.
- If you prefer a thinner crust, you can spread the cauliflower mixture more thinly on the baking sheet before baking.
- For a vegan version, replace the egg white with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) and use vegan cheese alternatives.
Enjoy your crispy cauliflower pizza fresh out of the oven, topped with your favorite fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
