Cauliflower Pizza Crust

I would like to think I’m somewhat adventurous in the kitchen, but there are some trends I put off following.

One of them is the Cauliflower Pizza Crust rage.

Sure, I love cauliflower in Mac n Cheese. Cauliflower Mash is a favorite too. And it is fabulous in these fritters.

But pizza is just taking it a little too far.

Then hubby started watching his carbs, and the thought of making different meals just didn’t sound appealing.

I was skeptical and even had a backup plan for dinner. Just in case the whole thing ended up in the garbage.

It isn’t often that my mind is blown by food, but this was incredible.

Over the top.

Perhaps the best gluten-free pizza crust I’ve ever made.

If you try this cauliflower pizza crust, leave me a comment and let me know how it goes!
