Table of Contents

Using a low-carb crust made with almond flour or cauliflower, Low Carb Sheet Pan Pizza is a tasty and healthier substitute for regular pizza. It’s ideal for people who want pizza but are on a low-carb or ketogenic diet. The best thing about this recipe is that it has little carbohydrates and can be topped with your favorite stuff. To make it, follow these steps:

Components:

In regards to the Low-Carb Crust:

One box of pre-riced cauliflower or one medium cauliflower head
Half a cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
One huge egg
One teaspoon of powdered garlic
One teaspoon of powdered onion
Half a teaspoon of oregano, dried
To taste, add salt and pepper.

Regarding the toppings:

Half a cup of pizza sauce (low-carb, preferably sugar-free)
One cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
Your preferred toppings (such as spinach, sausage, olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni, etc.)
Fresh basil (for garnish, if desired)

Directions:

1. Get the cauliflower crust ready.

Line a large sheet pan with silicone baking mats or parchment paper and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
If using a whole cauliflower, cut it into florets after removing the stem and leaves. In a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble fine crumbs or rice.
After transferring the riced cauliflower to a bowl that is safe to use in the microwave, cook it for four to five minutes, or until it is tender. Allow it to cool a little. After that, wrap it with fresh cheesecloth or a dish towel and squeeze out any extra liquid.
The cauliflower rice, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic and onion powders, oregano, salt, and pepper should all be combined in a big bowl. Stir until thoroughly blended.

2. Create the crust:

Evenly cover the prepared sheet pan with the cauliflower mixture, pressing it into a square or rectangle to create a crust that is approximately 1/4 inch thick.
The crust should be crisp and have golden brown edges after 15 to 20 minutes of baking in a preheated oven.

3. Include the garnishes:

The crust should be taken out of the oven. Leaving a thin border around the borders, cover the crust with a thin layer of pizza sauce.
Top with your preferred toppings after scattering the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. The crust may get mushy if you put on too many toppings.

4. Make the pizza:

Put the pizza back in the oven and bake it for ten to twelve more minutes, or until the toppings are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

5. Offer:

Before slicing, take the pizza out of the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
If desired, garnish with fresh basil or any other herbs. Cut and savor!

Advice:

Cauliflower rice: To save time, you can also purchase pre-riced cauliflower in the freezer department of most supermarkets.
Add as many low-carb toppings as you like to personalize the dish. To keep it tasty and low-carb, try grilled chicken, bacon, or a variety of vegetables.
Cheese variations: For a different taste, you can use provolone or cheddar in place of mozzarella.
Prepare in advance: Before adding the toppings and baking, the cauliflower crust can be prepared in advance and kept in the refrigerator for a day or two.
