Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Hey y'all! If you're like me, you enjoy a nice pizza topped with veggies and a simple salad on the side. However, until now, I couldn't find a way to justify eating half a pizza- until now. This recipe is a delicious and crispy pizza crust made from cauliflower! Topped with the right veggies and paired with the right salad, this is a great healthy meal.

Ingredients for the crust:
- 2 cups cauliflower crumbles
- 1/4 sweet onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 1/3 cup almond meal
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper

Ingredients for the topings (optional, can add or take away any of the toppings):
- 1/4 sweet onion
- Red pepper
- kale
- grilled chicken
- mozzarella cheese
- basil


Directions:
- preheat oven to 450 degrees
- chop the onion and garlic cloves thin
- combine the cauliflower with onion and garlic in a blender or food processor. It's easier to do it in batches with 1 cup of cauliflower at a time. Pulse or chop until crumbly, but stop before it becomes a paste
- Stir this mixture together with the almond meal, eggs, and the salt and pepper. If it seems too dry, you can add a little water, or if it seems too wet you can add more almond meal.
- Form into a pizza crust on a cooking sheet that has foil and cooking spray on it
- Bake alone for 20 minutes

Top and bake again:
- While the crust bakes, sautee any veggies you want to top your pizza with
- Remove crust and spread marinara sauce on first, then veggies, and lastly the mozzarella cheese and basil
- Place in the oven again and bake for another 10 minutes

Cheers!
