Cauliflower Pizza with Peppers

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

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 minutes

Cook Time 12 minutes minutes

Total Time 30 minutes 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
• ½ green pepper chopped
• ½ 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

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!
