My low carb cauliflower pizza was made in a 2 part steamer for the best results! You put water in the bottom pan and set the other pan on top. The top pan has holes in the bottom. You add the cover and boil the water, and it steams the vegetable. Open top and check to see if the cauliflower is done when a knife or fork very easily slides into the vegetable. This helps to keep the liquid separate from the cauliflower. Because you do not want a runny pizza crust!
If you’ve been wanting for ages to try a lighter pizza version this healthy cauliflower pizza is your best bet! So flavorful and so easy to make, this crispy cauliflower pizza crust will be your go to recipe every time you crave pizza! And you won’t even notice the difference!
