serves 1-2 people

Ingredients

• 1 bag (12oz.) of riced cauliflower from Trader Joe’s  
• 2 whole eggs
• 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast (or use dairy cheese)
• 1 tablespoon of coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon ground chia seed
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon turmeric
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• fresh ground black pepper
• baking sheets (2)
• parchment paper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Microwave cauliflower for 7 minutes.
3. Take cauliflower out and stir repeatedly to release steam and cool it down, until lukewarm to touch.
4. Place cauliflower into a paper towel/dishtowel and squeeze the excess water from the cauliflower.
5. Let the cauliflower sit within paper towel for about 5 minutes, returning to squeeze any further water.
6. Discard the cauliflower liquid. The end result will resemble a firm puree.
7. Combine the remaining ingredients into the large bowl and hand mix with a large spoon or whisk until thoroughly combined.
8. Spread the "dough" into either 1 large pizza shape or 2 small pizza rounds on a piece of parchment paper that will be transferred to a baking sheet.
9. Avoid spreading the "dough" too thin as the moisture will cause it the crack and pull away from rest of the dough, I like leaving mine about ½ inch thick.
10. Bake at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and firm to touch. You can flip this half way through the baking process to make sure both sides are cooked well to your liking. Use a 2nd baking sheet and parchment paper to make flipping easy.
11. Take out of the oven and top with your favorite toppings.
12. Bake for another 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees or until everything on the top has warmed and melted.
13. Enjoy!
