Notice anything different?

Yes Kim made something healthy which is wicked different. But that’s not it.

Anyone…

Anyone…

Anyone…

Okay the design is new. It’s not quite done yet. Still tweaking a few this and that’s. But I’m totally digging it thus far. Kita is a genius. I love her more than turtles.

But let’s forget about the design for now as there will be more on that another day.

For now let me turn your attention to….Skinny Cauliflower Pizza with Peppers!

Ohhhhh….ahhhhh!

Yes they are adorable.

Yes they are healthy.

Yes I actually ate one.

And did not spontaneously combust…

or hurl.

Progress people. That’s progress.

Okay I kid. I’ve made cauliflower pizza before. I made a beautiful Roasted Cauliflower Pizza with Baby Arugula and Roasted Garlic. It was spectacular. I’ve also made Wild Rice Pizza before. It was equally spectacular. I would give you better adjectives but I was up all night with a sick puppy. I’ve had 3 hours sleep and have worked a 16 hour day so far. So my brain is mush. I’d call it spectacularly mushy but at this point I’m not even sure if I should be using adjectives, verbs or nouns without some kind of parental guidance or something. I’m not even sure I know what adjectives, verbs and nouns are right now.

But I know pizza.

And this one is spectacular!

Cauliflower Pizza

A healthy and delicious cauliflower base pizza topped with goat cheese and peppers.
Prep Time 18 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 mini pizzas

Ingredients

For the base:

  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 4 oz of goat cheese
  • 1 egg

For the top:

  • 8 tablespoons of pizza sauce
  • 4 oz of goat cheese
  • 1/2 green pepper chopped
  • 1/2 red pepper chopped

Instructions

For the base:

  • Cook your cauliflower until it's soft. Mine was gigantic so it took about 10 minutes in the microwave. I added a bit of water to keep it from drying out. 10 minutes seems excessive so my cauliflower was probably not quite ready to plucked yet. Use discretion. You can also roast the cauliflower first, it adds a nice flavour profile.
  • Once the cauliflower is soft, remove it and mash it up with a fork.
  • Add the goat cheese and egg and whip it up a bit with a mixer or through a ricer.
  • On a parchment lined cookie sheet divide the mixture into 4 tiny pizza bases.
  • It helps to use a couple of spoons to flatten it out then you kind of drag the spoon and shape the edges. Sounds complicated but it's super easy.

For the top:

  • Use 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce per mini pizza. (you can totally use 1 if you are looking to keep calories down)
  • Smooth out the sauce.
  • Add your crumbled goat cheese over top.
  • Add your chopped peppers on top.
  • Pop it in a preheated 400 degree F oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove carefully.
  • Serve with a big old skinny butt smile!

Notes

Source for the base: Linda Wagner's Grain Free Gluten Free Low Carb Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe

Cauliflower Pizza with Peppers. A healthy and delicious cauliflower base pizza topped with goat cheese and peppers.

If your cauliflower is too wet you can use paper towels to wring out the excess moisture. Do not wring out too much or you might end up with the crust falling apart. You should be able to use a spatula to remove and it stays together. Every cauliflower is a bit different in size and crunch so you have to make a judgement call on how dry or wet you want it. I like mine to be sticky but not dripping if that makes sense to you. I used a base recipe from Linda Wagner since I’ve used it before and loved it. The Detoxinista’s recipe is fabulous as well. Both blogs have great pizza base recipes as well as lots of other healthy options for you. You should check them out.

Make sure you stop by the Sunday Supper crew’s blogs to check out all these skinny options. It’s a dream come true for anybody watching their waistline or living a clean lifestyle. I aspire to, and then I fall off the wagon on occasion. Luckily I have friends like these who throw my wide bottom back on the wagon and make me realize eating krispies every day is not the way to keep the waistline trim. I love the Sunday Supper crew. They really are the most amazing, supportive bunch of folks you will ever meet. So show them some love and pop by to say hello!

    I love the new design and I am very proud of you for your healthy dish. When I make a cauliflower base for my pizzas, I pre-cook the base to make it really crispy but then again, my oven is crazy. Yours probably cooks it from the underneath. Mine doesn’t.

      Awe Suzanne you are such a sweetheart. Thank you so much. I love roasting mine before making the base. Adds such an amazing taste. Do you steam or boil or roast yours?

      That’s terrible about your oven. My sis has a tricky oven. It’s quite small and hard to cook a whole big dinner. I lucked out when we moved here. We made some moolah off our last place and we put it all towards new stainless appliances. I have a dual fuel oven. The top is gas and the inside is electric, then it has a warming drawer. I wish I had a Viking or Wolff but maybe one day.

    I love cauliflower and goat cheese so I think I could eat these crusts happily without another thing on them. But they sure look pretty (as does your new design!) with sauce and peppers and more cheese so I will try to show some restraint and work my way through the whole recipe.

    Hope the pup is feeling better. XOXO

    Hi I am wondering if I can replace the goat cheese with low far mozarella and cheddar cheese?

    Reply
    • Kim Bee says

      February 17, 2013 at 10:13 AM

      Absolutely. I’ve used mozzarella on mine before. If you use it in the base just pop the cauliflower and mozzarella in the microwave for about a minute or two to get the mozzarella to get a bit melty. Then take it out and mix in the egg. The cheese in the base helps keep it together. I’ve never tried cheddar but I bet you could do a great southwestern or mexican pizza that way.

      I hope you love it. The only tip I forgot to add to the notes is if the cauliflower is too damp press out the excess moisture with paper towels. It helps it be a bit more crisp.

    Yay for cauliflower crust! I have been meaning to try my hand at one again. The first time I tried making it, I made the crust slightly too thick and it was just too mushy. Spreading it nice and thin must really be the trick. Your little pizzas look great!

    • Kim Bee says

      February 17, 2013 at 6:26 PM

      I need to edit in the info about mushy cauliflower. Use paper towels to squeeze out the excess moisture. Works like a charm. Thin helps too. I think making them smaller even helps. It’s such a great alternative when you want to watch what you’re eating.

If so I’m bringing 3 kiddos, mini-me & boytoy & B so they could use a 4th to ride with if Katie is game. I think her and the kids are similar ages. Mini-me & boytoy are 19 and B is 24.

          That is so sad about Bill’s dad. If you ever want to talk let me know. I went through it with my dad. He had lung cancer in 2007 and I took care of him just shy of a year. It’s hard on them and the people around them. The cancer centres are amazing though. The folks in the waiting room will be the biggest support system you can have. They all get it and it becomes a community. I learned so much from all of the people there going through it or supporting someone going through it. The volunteers are also amazing. Those people are just angels on earth.

They can help with meds to try to keep them as comfortable as possible. We kept Dad at home. Was hard but I know he wanted that. I am here to listen at any moment. I’ll shoot you my home number in an email. I think you have the cell but that would get roaming whereas the house does not. The joys of being Canadian. Just be there and do the best you can to spend time with him. That’s all anyone wants really. Also hospice is vital. I would not have gotten through emotionally without them. And the cancer centres offer counselling, it saved me from literally killing his doctor once. They dragged me down there when I went a little loopy after he verbally bashed my Dad. I was not a happy daughter and by day’s end the doctor was on suspension. And I was under “guidance”. It was not funny at the time but now I look back on it and laugh how nuts I must have seemed.

            Call or email any time. It’s a rough road but if you just give into it it’s something that will change you forever. Lots of ups and downs, not going to lie. But man it’s strips away all the B.S. of life fast.

    I love the healthy version of pizza…of course since it’s pizza it has to be good (as it came from your kitchen).

    The only crust variation I have ever tried is chickpea flour crust…very good and very filling.

    I am digging the new design! I hope you had a great weekend Kim!

      Awe you are so sweet. Thank you so much.

      I have yet to try chickpea. They sort of freak me out. I have no idea why. It’s a weird quirk.

      Thanks. I love it. It’s very me.

      Thanks Samantha. You can totally steam it, that’s basically all the microwave does. Or roast it. I’ love the roasted version a bit better. A little sweeter. But you could totally steam and mash. I tried using my rice but it was not cooperating at all.

    First of all I love the redesign. I am determined that cauliflower pizza will work for me. I have attempted it twice now and it didn’t turn out. I like the idea of doing mini pizzas as the big issues I had with them in the past was not cooking right. I will give this a try

      It should really help. Make them thin and small so they get crispy and don’t stay overly moist. It’s such a fine balance between making them too wet or too dry. I like to wring out some moisture then the cheese helps keep it together and helps crisp them. The odd time they come out too wet and it stinks. If they do I slide them back in but on the lowest rack for a few minutes. Then just tent foil over the top so the cheese doesn’t burn.

      Thanks, I love the colours. Hopefully I can do a welcome to the new design post later this week. Still tweaking some things.

    Sorry to hear about your killer long day, Kim! Even running on a lack of sleep and lots of stress, you still wrote a kick ass post. And I’m stunned at how amazing this pizza is – you can actually make a healthy, tasty pizza?! Who knew?! Apparently you did and now I do too. I can’t wait to try this, as well as your wild rice pizza. Yum!

    Love your new look! Congrats – I recently went through a design change too. It’s fun and a little stressful all at the same time. And love your use of cauliflower as a pizza! Very creative. I use the slabs as ‘steaks’ but had never though to use them as a pizza. Really love it!

    Okay, I have put cauliflower ON pizza before, but I still haven’t tried it as a crust. And I kind of feel like I’m missing out now. Definitely need to do this!

    Hi Kim,
    Sorry I didn’t have much time lately to visit. I see there is a lot going on here. I love the the new design. The cauliflower pizza looks awesome. I like cauliflower and will definitely try this dish in the near future. Hopefully I will have some time to join the Sunday Supper conversation on Twitter.

    That crust makes me actually want to eat cauliflower, and that is saying something.

      Sarah I laughed out loud at your comment. I used to hate cauliflower but I swear now I love it. Best thing you can do is roast it in the oven with oil olive. Tastes like candy, no lie!
