Make your cauliflower into something different and delicious with this pizza recipe!
If you know me, you know I am always on the hunt for a fun veggie recipe. This cauliflower pizza is now a staple in my house thanks to the incredible yumminess. You definitely cannot taste any cauliflower (not that that’s bad in my book). And its also surprisingly not too cheesy either.
For this recipe, you can either use frozen cauliflower rice OR a small cauliflower head that you’ll grate on your cheese grater. Either way, you need to cook it off for 5 minutes on your skillet or 8 minutes in your microwave. This is done to remove the liquids. After this, ring it out in a cheese cloth to get the remaining water out.
Once you’re done with that part, you need to saute your garlic in a little bit of oil to get the flavors really poppin. You can skip this step and just add it in straight away – but I prefer it this way. You can definitely use any shredded cheese you have on hand in place of the mozzarella. The pepperoni is also optional.

Low Carb Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Breadsticks
Ingredients
- 1 small cauliflower
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic,, minced
- 2 eggs,, lightly beaten
- 3/4 tsp Italian herb blend seasonig
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 oz (170.1 g) shredded mozzarella, (divided)
- 8 pepperoni slices
- Garnish: chili pepper flakes + parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13" baking pan with parchment paper.
- Use a cheese grater to grate your cauliflower florets. Transfer the shreds to a large skillet and saute for 5 minutes, flipping occasionally. We want the water to evaporate but not brown the vegetable – keep the heat on medium. Transfer the shreds to a cloth to wring out any excess liquids still left in the vegetable.
- In a small skillet, add the oil and heat on medium. Add in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until fragrant.
- In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, garlic, eggs, dried herbs, onion powder, salt and pepper to taste and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish and flatten out evenly. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and flip it over onto another slightly larger baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and top with the remaining mozzarella and your pepperoni. Broil until the cheese turns golden brown and bubbly.
I also added 32 grams of Parmesan cheese on top.
This is a totally awesome recipe. It is easy to make and modify. I made a few changes as my son ate the pepperoni and I substituted chicken and real bacon bits.
My changes took it from an appetizer to a main course.
1 bag of Costco cauliflower rice
10 cloves of garlic. Squeezed out the garlic. Refrozen.
3 eggs instead of 2
8 oz cheese mixed in with the crust
6 oz additional to put on the top
3 oz bacon bits
I forgot the chili powder and parsley.
It turned out really delicious!!! Thanks for sharing it!
HI Keith, thank you for coming back to share your experience with the recipe! I’m glad you enjoyed the pizza breadsticks!
It was pretty good, but what is the nutritional single serving calories? You have calories on there but that can’t possibly be for the entire cheesy bread.
Can I substitute something for the egg?
e this recipe! I use a food processor to grind the cauliflower. I also only use 4 Oz of cheese because I found that using 8oz was too much. It is so yummy!
