High-Protein, Low-Carb Pizza Crust

There are tons of low-carb/gluten-free pizza crust options at the grocery store… but why go with something frozen or shelf-stable when you can make a FRESH crust with just 3 ingredients (not including spices)??

Enter in my FAVORITE High-Protein, Low-Carb pizza crust made with (1) riced cauliflower, (2) eggs and (3) almond flour. Add some spices + your favorite toppings & you’ve got a hearty meal in ~30 minutes!

INGREDIENTS

  • 16 oz. riced cauliflower

  • 8 eggs

  • 2 cups almond flour

  • 1 T. nutritional yeast

  • 2 t. garlic powder

  • 2 t. onion powder

  • 2 t. Italian seasoning

  • 1 t. red pepper flakes

  • Salt & pepper

STEPS

1) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Add the almond flour and riced cauliflower to a large bowl. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then pour them over the almond flour/cauliflower. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine.

2) Spray non-stick cooking spray over a large baking sheet. Add the wet dough to the sheet. Cover with a piece of wax paper, then use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten the crust so it’s thin and covers the entire baking sheet.

3) Cook the crust for 20 minutes. Remove, add pizza toppings, then cook another 10 minutes. Finish in the broiler to brown the cheese, if desired.
