It not only tastes amazing, but it also adds another serving of vegetables into our daily diet. This crust is so delicious, even the pickiest of pizza lovers will enjoy this taste sensation.
To get this recipe started, simply cook your cauliflower, then use your food processor to pulse it until it resembles cooked rice after you have steamed it.
Once you have mixed the cauliflower with your other ingredients, you can easily form it into a crust as you would with a traditional flour crust recipe.
