This is THE BEST easy Keto Cauliflower Pizza Crust recipe. Made with just 4 fresh ingredients and 35 minutes total time - it’s simple, but actually delicious! Gluten-Free. Low-Carb. Keto.
We always start with a base of our homemade 5 Minute Marinara Sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese and whichever toppings we have at hand.
🥘 ingredients
You will need:
- Cauliflower
- Egg
- Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- Minced Garlic
- Dried Oregano, Salt and Pepper
🔪 instructions
- Blend the cauliflower into small rice-sized pieces (or just buy cauliflower rice to save a step!). (Photo 1)
- Put the cauliflower rice into a microwave save bowl, cover and cook on high for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes. (Photo 2)
- Dump the cauliflower onto a clean tea towel and squeeze the water out. This is very important - spend some extra time to really get as much liquid out as you possible can. The dryer the cauliflower, the crispier the end product. (Photo 3 & 4)
- In a mixing bowl, add the cauliflower and all the rest of the ingredients. Mix until it forms a ball of “dough”. (Photo 5)
- Use your hands to press down the dough on baking paper into an evenly flat and round pizza crust. (Photo 6)
- Bake in a pre-heated (380F/180C) oven for 25-30 minutes. Until the pizza is golden all over and browning on the edges. (Photo 7)
- Remove from the oven and immediately add your desired toppings. We used our homemade 5 Minutes Keto Marinara Sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. (Photo 8)
- Broil for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Cut into slices, garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately! We love dipping the pizza slices into our yummy Celery Ranch Dressing.

Is the nutrition info for one slice? How many slices? 16 g carbs?
Dana says
Definitely the best cauliflower pizza crust i’ve tasted yet. Didn’t fall apart!
Yvonne says
The best cauliflower pizza base I’ve tasted. Saved this one. Even my husband approved! Thank you!

Why is there so much sodium?
Christina says
I recommend taking out the part about the wax paper. It's never supposed to go in the oven. The wax paper could melt or ignite into flames. As soon as I put it in the oven, I could smell something burning so I looked up if you can put wax paper in the oven. I took it out as quickly as I could.
Shay says
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. This is actually meant to say parchment paper, I'll fix it right away.
Lynne Wilson Lesher says
Well I'm trying my first pizza. I was at a friends house and she made this cauliflower pizza. I did notice she did use parchment paper and still had a mess with it sticking. So I am going out on a limb and just spraying my pans and baking on the pans. I hope they are good as hers were. this can be a little expensive, but ok if everyone loves them.
Katorah Garrett says
How did it turn out using a sprayed baking pan?
Ark says
Parchment paper doesn't burn
Kristina chavez says
This was very good. The whole family enjoyed it. Only thing is that it stuck to the paper. How can I prevent this from happening again? Thank you
Tess says
The crust was stuck on the wax paper. ???? What did I do wrong?
Lori says
I think Shay meant parchment paper. Wax paper really isn't made for baking.
Helen says
Just a note to say thank you for the yummy Pepperoni Cauliflower Pizza recipe! Always wanted to incorporate more veggies into our daily meals without being boring. Only problem is I forgot to put base into oven first. I must have thought I was making ordinary pizza but it was still tasty only needed to crispen.
Shay says
Oh no! Yes, it definitely need the first bake to crispen it haha! Glad you still liked it though, Helen 🙂
