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
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
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.
Kim Bee
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.
The Ninja Baker
Yea! A pizza my super health conscious husband will approve of! Thank you for this creative and healthy recipe, Kim! And feel better =)
Kim Bee
Thanks so much. I had so much fun making this. It's healthy and yummy. The one I did previously with roasted cauliflower and roasted garlic was off the charts.
CCU
Oooh digging the new site my friend 😀
Just as much as this delicious snack 😀
Cheers
CCU
Kim Bee
Thank you. I just love it. I know it's super girlie but so am I. lol
Thanks. It makes a great alternative to calorie filled pizza.
Stacy
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
Kim Bee
You would totally dig these Stacy. They are a great way to eat pizza without a horrendous amount of guilt. Plus they are fabulous when folks with gluten allergies visit.
Pup is all better and back to her normal pain in the rump self. lol
Nicole @ Daily Dish Recipes
I've been making cauliflower pizza crust (a little diff. than yours) since 2006 and let me tell you, it's one of my favorite things. I love the smaller version of this one.
Kim Bee
They are just amazing when you want to feel a little less guilt. I really like mine with roasted cauliflower. Just takes the taste up a few notches.
Jen @JuanitasCocina
OMG....cute! The cauliflower pizza, the new design, all of it! I love! <3
Renee
I immediately noticed the new design and it is wonderful! I'm loving the pizza too.
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Renee. I appreciate it. xx

Hi I am wondering if I can replace the goat cheese with low far mozarella and cheddar cheese?
Kim Bee
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.
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers
I am excited to try this! I LOVE pizza and I feel so guilty eating it! But not anymore! I can't wait to try this crust! I have a head of cauliflower in the fridge!! So excited!
Kim Bee
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.
Sherron@SimplyGourmet
One of our favorite recipes. Your mini pizzas look wonderful and so packed with beautiful veggies..YUM
Kim Bee
Thank you so much. I like the idea of mini food. It makes me happy.
Kayle (The Cooking Actress)
The site is adorable! I love the new design!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Kayle.
Family Foodie
What an amazing recipe! I love that you shared during #SundaySupper!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Isabel. xx
Katie
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
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.
adam @unorthodoxepicure
Eureka! Individual-sized crusts! You nailed it! This looks outstanding.
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Adam. I love mini foods. Something about it just speaks to me. It's the cuteness factor.
Shannon @VillageGirlBlog
Ooooo Goat cheese in the "crust"?! I love it!! Thank you for sharing. And, I hope your puppy is feeling better.
Kim Bee
Thanks Shannon. And puppy is all better and her normal spazzy stuff today.
DB-The Foodie Stuntman
I love the new design but I'd like to see what the final product looks like. Funny I wrote a similar story on mine today how healthy dishes aren't a real focus for me so nit was a great change of pace. Looks good on both fronts today: the website design and the pizza!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much DB. I have a bad habit of always craving the bad stuff. Not a good thing as you get older.
Renee - Kudos Kitchen
Sounds intriguing! I'm a huge cauliflower lover so a cauliflower crust with goat cheese seems pretty delish! Plus, I like that they're personal sized!
Kim Bee
Thanks Renee, you should try one out if you love cauliflower. Roasting the cauliflower first is spectacular. I love mini foods, it's like a sickness.
john@kitchenriffs
The new design looks wonderful! As does this pizza - you've proved that healthy can be wicked tasty. Hope the puppy is doing better, so you can finally get some sleep!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much John. Even my healthy food has to have some kick. I hate boring.
Puppy slept like a dream so I was able to get some rest. So happy she's all better.
sunithi
I have always wanted to make cauliflower crust pizza and this combo of cauliflower, goat cheese and egg sounds yumm ! Love pizza, but hate the crust since am trying to do GF, so this will be a nice option ! looks great Kim !! Thanks for sharing !
Kim Bee
Glad you like the crust, it's a great way to be GF. Let me know if you get a chance to try it.
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen
I love both the pizza and your new face Kim! The goat cheese in the crust just blew my mind
Kim Bee
Thanks Paula. The cheese in it makes it super tasty and crisps up nicely.
