As the old saying goes don't knock it until you try it.It is very good.

I like it, my kids like it. It doesn't taste like pizza crust but it is good! I could live without brussel sprouts however. :drinker:

Lol, a "substitute" doesn't comp for the real thing. Learn to moderate and eating real pizza crust is fine.

I love it. It's really good, although supposed to be a better "alternative" but it calls for ALOT of cheese... So your taking out the flour.. but adding a ton of cheese..

It's one cup of cheddar( or mozzarella )
one cup of riced (grated) cauliflower
2 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp groud oregano
1 Large egg

I've tried it..it was okay but you have to be careful about the amount of cheese you put in the crust...even if the calories are lower than bread crust the fat from the cheese is worse!! It was a little like eating an omelete with pizza toppings....okay but not a substitute for real pizza:)

I fell for the mashed-cauliflower-as-substitute-for-mashed-potatoes idea, and will never forget how incredibly ****ty it tasted.

Cauliflower's fine on it's own, but not as a replacement for tasty, tasty pizza crust or mashed potatoes.

Just stop it.

Exactly! That's what I noticed.. Plus then you put more cheese on top... It was good, but not a healthier option by any means. A girl told me about it, and she was all, " it's totally healthy.. you can eat the whole thing AND lose weight."

umm.. not quite. lol

Ingredients

1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
1/2 tsp garlic salt
olive oil (optional)
2 tbl diced cooked mushrooms
pizza sauce
2 tbl Sundried tomatoes
1 cup spinach (fresh) and then wilted
Additional cheese to sprikle on top
1 tbl spoon Fetta cheese


Directions

To "Rice" the Cauliflower:
Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. Do not over-do pulse or you will puree it. (If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the whole head with a cheese grater). Place the riced cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes (some microwaves are more powerful than others, so you may need to reduce this cooking time). Or you can steam it on the stove. There is no need to add water, as the natural moisture in the cauliflower is enough to cook itself.

One large head should produce approximately 3 cups of riced cauliflower. The remainder can be used to make additional pizza crusts immediately, or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

To Make the Pizza Crust:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet with olive oil or coconut oil.

In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Add oregano, crushed garlic and garlic salt, stir. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and using your hands, pat out into a 9" round. Optional: Brush olive oil over top of mixture to help with browning.

Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven. To the crust, add sauce, toppings and cheese. Place under a broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted (approximately 3-4 minutes).

I've never tried it but it sounds good and got great reviews. It sounds good anyway!

What's the point if you're going to have a *kitten* ton of cheese? It's worse then having whole wheat dough!

One time when I was young I went to the neighbor's house to play with my best friend at the time. His mom was very Martha Stewart yuppie type, always doing crafts and strange things. She presented us both with what looked like an ice cream cone.

I bit into it, expecting an icy treat to meet my lips and delicious chocolate flavour crystals to dance on my tongue. What did I find? Cake. Dry, tasteless cake, shaped to look like ice cream.

She grinned at me, expecting me to compliment her, but I felt too betrayed.

Moral of the story: Don't pretend your cake is ice cream. You will lose friends for life.

Also, spaghetti squash tastes nothing like spaghetti. Stop pretending it does.

I thought this was an awesome idea up until I read the second ingredient.

" Cauliflower Pizza Crust" is an oxymoron as well as an affront to the tastebuds.

Lyssa62

LOVE it!~~ and make it a LOT -- it turns out just as good everytime!

btw I used fat free cheese and loaded it with more veggies. It was very low cal and delicious ...even my suspicious diners ate it and wanted more.
And it's great for those of us who are not big pizza dough fans.

I thought it was good, but what with a cup of cheese mixed in isn't? I wouldn't call it pizza, though, but it's good.
