Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). To make the cauliflower pizza crust, lightly grease two 12-inch round pizza trays and line with non-stick baking paper. Place the cauliflower, in batches, in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl, add the almond meal, Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper and mix until a soft dough forms. Divide the mixture in half and press into the prepared trays. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
