Healthiest Friday Night Pizza Ever (Gluten Free,Fat Free)

We all love pizza and I wanted to find  a healthy way to enjoy it. So I ran discovered that a  cauliflower can become a pizza  crust. Who knew anyways, I bought a cauliflower and decided to make my own. NOTE: smell it before you buy it and make sure it's fresh. You know like when Mom would smell the eggs before she bought them. You get what I'm saying so who knew a cauliflower could become a crust that's like trans-formative cooking! I went on an adventure in the kitchen and this is what I came up with. This crust is sensitive but it works and it's full of flavor. Seriously!!!!Hope you guys enjoy and try!

I'm not really a measuring kind of gal but I did my best:

Veggie Crust
2 Cups of Cauliflower (chopped finely in food processor)
3/4 Cup of Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
1 tsp of red pepper flakes
1 tsp of oregano

My Quick Sauce
1/4  cup of organic no salt added tomato sauce
season to taste
 pepper and sea salt
oregano
red pepper flakes
dash of honey


My Toppings
mushrooms
yellow/red peppers
onions
kale/spinach
organic shredded cheese
add additional seasoning if you like

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375F.
2. Grate cauliflower in a food processor, until it's like rice or finely shredded like rice almost.
3. Boil some water and then add the shredded cauliflower rice.Cook it for about 4-5 minutes.Drain it and then put the mixture in a clean/new dish towel or cheesecloth and strain out all the water that you possibly can.
4. In a bowl mix your cauliflower rice, a beaten egg, cheese, and spices.This pizza dough is a  bit fragile so handle carefully.
5. Press the dough out carefully and evenly (not to thick not to thin)onto a nonstick baking sheet or lined with parchment paper.Shape into a crust as desired.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 400F. Bake until the crust is browned and firm for about 35-40 minutes on 400F.
7. After the crust is cooked top with your favorite healthy veggie toppings,sauce and cheese and bake until done.

Enjoy!!!!!
Now you can enjoy your pizza on a Friday night guilt free! Have a great Friday!
