Creative Cauliflower Recipes

4 cups cauliflower (1 large head of cauliflower)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or other low-fat shredded cheese)

1/2–3/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce (depending on how hot you like it)

1/2 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Prepare pizza crust: Wash cauliflower and cut in half. Break cauliflower into segments and place in food processor. Pulse until it reaches a rice-like texture. Place cauliflower in microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes. (Don't add water or cover.) Remove cauliflower from microwave and add the cheese and seasoning. Once cauliflower has cooled down, add egg; stir until everything is well combined. (Note: If you notice your cauliflower has any excess water, be sure to drain or blot it off. The drier the crust is, the crispier it will become. Also, if you don't have a food processor, you can cut the cauliflower into very fine pieces with a knife.)

3. Bake pizza crust: Scoop cauliflower crust onto prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to help form crust into a rectangle on the pan, about 1/4 inch thick. Place crust in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until it starts to get lightly golden brown over the top.

4. Meanwhile, prepare Buffalo chicken: While the pizza crust bakes, place Buffalo wing sauce and shredded chicken in a medium bowl. Toss chicken in sauce until well combined.

5. Top pizza: Evenly spread the Buffalo chicken over the baked pizza crust then scatter the cheese on top.

6. Bake and enjoy: Bake pizza 6–10 minutes until cheese has melted and starts to bubble.
