So it may not be as good as regular pizza from a restaurant but this recipe is for sure a fun way to get your veggies & feel slightly better about eating an entire personal sized pizza... Plus with homemade pizzas the topping possibilities are endless! Some of my fave combos have been pesto/arugula/avocado/goat cheese, brie/pear/fig jam, and of course the class margherita which is my go-to pizza anywhere. Hoping to try a peach/burrata/balsamic glaze combo soon! Ps this recipe can be made with either broccoli or cauliflower depending on your flavor preference! The broccoli has more of the veggie taste which I tend to prefer, while the cauliflower is more neutral :)


Ingredients (makes 2 pizza crusts):

  • 1 large head of broccoli or cauliflower cut into florets

  • 3 eggs

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan or pecorino cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

  • 2 tsp basil

  • 2 tsp oregano

  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Rice the broccoli or cauliflower in a food processor, then microwave in a large bowl for 3-5 minutes until steamed.

  3. Let cool (so you don't burn yourself in the next step like I've definitely done before...)

  4. Transfer riced broccoli/cauliflower to a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as you can into the sink.

  5. Put the dried broccoli/cauliflower back into the bowl and add remaining ingredients. Mix well.

  6. Transfer half of the dough to each baking sheet and shape into 2 approximately 9-inch pizza crusts.

  7. Bake for 15 mins or until the edges are slightly browned.

  8. Take the crusts out of the oven and add your toppings, then bake for another 5-10 mins to melt the cheese and voilà!
