Cauliflower Crust Pizza

PIZZA!! We love pizza! We especially love this healthy cauliflower crust pizza (anytime you can use a vegetable as the base it’s a WIN)! The variety of toppings, gooey cheese, the tangy sauce… all meld together to form a perfect dinner pie. A pie that is filling and satisfying. Pizza’s are also fun to make at home where you can create your portion just the way you like it. Making homemade pizzas can also be both educational and fun for kids to help with. They can learn math skills (counting, fractions), learn about spices, temperature, time, flavors and so much more!

Let’s Talk Crust & Sauce

Pizza crust can be made out of a variety of products. Many of these products contain products that many people try to avoid including flour and gluten. While these crusts may TASTE good, they may not be good for your health. When branching out and trying non-flour and gluten free options, this healthy cauliflower crust  pizza is a must on your “to try” list. When using this crust, you will be gaining the benefit of adding a vegetable to your meal by using it as the base. You can also be assured there is no flour or gluten added.

There are a variety of sauces you can use. You can use a good quality store bought or homemade pesto, a margherita  sauce, a creamy white sauce or a variety of the red sauces. If you like the simplicity of a store bought sauce, one of my favs is the Rao’s Pizza Sauce which is low in sugar and has a clean list of ingredients.

Toppings

Here’s where the real fun starts! Pizza toppings are an endless possibility. When making this healthy cauliflower crust pizza , some of my favorites toppings include ham, mushrooms, artichokes, sundried tomatoes, spinach, olives, goat cheese and mozzarella cheese. Sometimes I’ll add a few slices of turkey pepperoni, onions, peppers. If you like to spice things up a bit, try an Italian Pizza Seasoning sprinkled on the top prior to cooking. One spice blend I enjoy is the Trade East Italian Pizza Seasoning.
