almond flour

🥗Healthier: ground flaxseed

💰Cheaper: oat flour

Oat flour is less expensive and gluten-free.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the cauliflower by cooking it until tender, which can be done by boiling, microwaving, or steaming; the creator chooses to steam it for about 10 minutes.

Remove the cauliflower from the heat and rice it using a shredder or food processor until it resembles rice-sized pieces.

Place the riced cauliflower in a strainer and press down to remove excess moisture using a paper towel or cheesecloth.

In a mixing bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, 1 egg, 1 egg white, chopped onions, and parsley.

Add 1 cup of low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese to the mixture and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.

Mix everything together to form the base for the pizza.

Grease a pizza pan or cookie sheet with nonstick oil and pat the mixture down to shape it into a pizza crust.

Bake the crust in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes until it is firm and slightly golden.

Once the crust is ready, add 1 tablespoon of pesto on top, followed by a sprinkle of red bell peppers, green olives, and tomatoes.

Top with a little fresh parsley or basil and more oregano if desired, and add feta cheese over the top.

Switch the oven to high broil and place the pizza in for about 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust crisps up.
