Cauliflower Steak Pizza For Low Carb Comfort Food

Low-Carb Cauliflower Steak Pizza

This recipe creates a delicious and satisfying pizza on a cauliflower crust, perfect for a low-carb comfort food fix.

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce (sugar-free recommended for low-carb)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Optional toppings: chopped pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, roasted red peppers, chopped onions

Cooking Guide:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and dry the cauliflower head. Cut the cauliflower into steaks about 1-inch thick.
3. In a bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the cauliflower steaks in the mixture to coat them evenly.
4. Arrange the cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly golden brown.
5. While the cauliflower roasts, prepare your toppings. You can pre-cook meats like pepperoni or sausage if desired.
6. Once the cauliflower steaks are cooked, remove them from the oven and flip them over. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each steak.
7. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce. Add your desired toppings.
8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped basil or parsley (optional).

Tips:

• For extra crispy cauliflower crusts, broil them for a couple of minutes after the cheese melts. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
• Make sure your cauliflower steaks are dry before roasting to ensure even browning.
• Get creative with your toppings! This recipe is a great base for all your favorite pizza ingredients.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
• To make this recipe vegan, use vegan cheese and skip the pepperoni. You can also use a vegan pizza sauce.
