I’ll admit I was a skeptic, using cauliflower for a pizza crust? Honestly you really can’t even tell the difference between this and a regular pizza crust. You will however see a difference in the calorie and carb intake! This Margherita Pizza with Cauliflower Crust has around 200 calories and only 10 carbs per serving!

Note: I am currently working on a post that will show step by step on ‘Margherita Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

Now once you have the cauliflower pizza crust baked. Go ahead and add your favorite pizza sauce or my super yummy Margherita Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

Then just add the sliced Roma Tomatoes and the fresh Basil on top. I just love the smell of fresh Basil, don’t you?

Next top with your favorite Mozzarella cheese and bake 10 to 15 minutes longer until the cheese is nice and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Make sure you let it sit for about 5 minutes before cutting into it.

    This looks delicious! I’m wondering if you’ve ever tried freezing the crust by itself or an entire pizza? It’d be awesome to make some and keep them on hand but I’m not sure how well it would freeze,
