Cheese-Free Cauliflower Pizza Crust Topped with Pesto and Roasted Summer Vegetables

It’s not very often that I miss foods like pizza, but every now and then the craving hits. It’s a comfort and foodie thing I think. I’ve been wanting to try a cauliflower crust awhile now, so this was the perfect time to give it a try. I wanted something that was cheese, nut and coconut free and I think this turned out really well.

As always it is my goal to keep the recipe as simple as possible. Cauliflower is a neutral base and I love using herbs for flavor. I use eggs and tapioca starch as a binder. I love that it is low-carb and won’t spike blood sugar.

Instead of staying with the traditional tomato based sauce, I used my pesto sauce as a base and topped with roasted zucchini, yellow squash, red onion and bell pepper. Taking advantage of what is in season now keeps the price down and taste flavorful. Pre-roasting helps cut down on the moisture that will go into the crust which holds it together better.

      Yes you can. You might need to add a little more to get a dough like consistency. You can also substitute with corn starch.

    I followed this recipe using the seasonings mentioned in the instruction video and it was Extremely Tasty!!! I used 4 tablespoons of coconut flour as a substitute for the 3 tablespoons of arrowroot. I also used the Dairy Free Pesto Recipe from this website for my pizza sauce .
    Note: I dried out my rice cauliflower rice in a saucepan beforehand.

    This was my first making any type of pizza crust.
    I was a little worried because the my dough did not have a smooth consistency as seen in the video.
    Also, I made 3 mini pizzas between 4″ and 5″. Next time I will have to double the recipe so that I can make extra crust that I can freeze.

      Hi Lisa, did you also use the 3 tbsp of coconut oil or butter in addition to the 4 tbsp of coconut flour? Just trying to get the fat/calorie level down, otherwise I would just use cheese. Thx.
