Cauliflower Pizza Recipe: Low Carb, Healthy & Easy to Make
This recipe will hit the “pizza craving” spot when you want a slice of cheesy savory goodness but you are also watching your carbs, gluten and glycemic index. Adapt the ingredients to fit you and your family’s tastes. My only note is to avoid prepared pizza sauce and to include at least one vegetable such as spinach, kale, artichokes, peppers or even brocolli and cauliflower.
Ingredients
- 1 Frozen Cauliflower Crust
- 2 Vine Ripened Tomatoes thinly sliced
- 1 Bag Frozen Chopped Spinach
- 2 Tbsp Marinated garlic, olives & mushrooms Diced
- 1.5 Cups Fresh Mozzarella Shredded or Thinly Sliced
- 1 Package Uncured Turkey Pepperoni
- No Sodium Italian Seasoning (Or Pizza Seasoning)
- Maldon Sea Salt & Freshly Cracked Pepper
- Olive Oil
- Nutritional Yeast or Grated Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-
Brush frozen cauliflower pizza crust with olive oil and generously season with sea salt, pepper & seasoning.
-
Leaving a half-inch border, layer tomatoes on crust and season again with salt, pepper and seasonings. Layer spinach and season again with salt, pepper and seasonings.
-
Layer marinated vegetables and season with pepper and seasonings.
-
Layer 1 cup mozzarella cheese and season with pepper and seasonings.

Layer as much pepperoni that will fit. Finish with the remaining mozzarella and season again with pepper and seasoning.
-
Carefully slide pie into the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the top layer of cheese has begun to brown which will take about 8 - 10 minutes depending on your oven. Don’t walk away and check often after 7 minutes as this pie will go from done to burnt easiliy.

Slice and enjoy! If you like, sprinkle the pizza with a little nutritional yeast or grated parmesan cheese just before serving.
