Are you avoiding carbs but craving delicious pizza? This Low-carb Pepperoni Pizza with Cauliflower Crust is super flavorful and gluten-free.

I made these cauliflower bites for lunch, and we just loved them. We’ve enjoyed them so much that I assumed I should try and make this Low-carb pepperoni Cauliflower pizza Crust myself. Of course, we really enjoyed it, which was so delicious.

Of course, it’s not made with flour, so the taste of this pizza is somewhat different from the normal pizzas; however, I promise that you won’t be disappointed. It’s so flavourful with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and mushrooms. You don’t need to use the same toppings are me. Feel free to feature whatever you have got in your fridge.

To make this pizza, first, you’ll need a food processor or a grater to form the rice-like consistency, and then you have to microwave it to help release some wetness from the cauliflower. The next step is to dump all the cauliflower into a kitchen towel and squeeze it as hard as possible. This is the key to a crisp crust. If you skip this step, your crust could be soggy, and we don’t want that.
