Ingredients

For the Cauliflower Crust:

2 cups cauliflower rice (pre-riced cauliflower)
1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water)
1/2 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Pizza Toppings:

1/2 cup sugar-free tomato sauce or marinara sauce
1 cup diced bell peppers (use colorful ones for variety)
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1 cup chopped kale or spinach (for added nutrients)
1/2 cup dairy-free shredded mozzarella cheese (look for one with low-carb options and no added sugar)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens.
In a microwave-safe bowl, steam the cauliflower rice by microwaving it for about 4-5 minutes or until tender. Alternatively, you can steam it on the stove in a steamer basket.
Let the steamed cauliflower rice cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to getting a firm crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, almond flour, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add the flax egg to the cauliflower mixture and stir until everything is evenly combined.
Divide the cauliflower dough in half and place each half onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone. Press and shape the dough into two round pizza crusts, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the cauliflower crusts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they become golden and crispy around the edges.
Once the crusts are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Preheat your broiler on high.
Spread a layer of sugar-free tomato sauce or marinara sauce on each cauliflower crust.
Add the diced bell peppers, black olives, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped kale or spinach as your toppings.
Sprinkle dairy-free shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
Place the topped pizzas under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts and gets slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven, slice the pizzas, and serve hot.
