  • 1/2 tsp Basil Leaves
  • 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Large Egg, Beaten
  • 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, Divided
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Cup Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 Cup Chopped Kale
  • 1 Cup Chopped Spinach

For Pizza Sauce

  • 14.5 oz Diced Tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp Oregano Leaves
  • 1/2 tsp Basil Leaves

Instructions

For Pizza Crust and Toppings

  • Steam or microwave the riced cauliflower until tender, about 6-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This is crucial for a crispy crust.
  • In a bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, egg, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
  • Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a pizza crust about 12 inches in diameter.
  • Bake in a 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and set.
  • While the crust is baking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 6-7 minutes.
  • Add the kale and spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

For Pizza Sauce

  • In a saucepan, heat olive oil, then sauté your minced garlic, then combine the diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, truvia, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  • Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the sauce thicken and the flavors combine.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using.

Assemble The Pizza

  • Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce or enough to your preference.
  • Top with the mushroom, kale, and spinach mixture.
  • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the toppings are heated through.
  • Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving.
