I have seen a lot of Paleo recipes for cauliflower crust pizzas but I thought they looked too time consuming and I could not imagine how they could be crispy. Then curiosity got the best of me and I tried my hand at some of the recipes. Let me tell you, they are not hard to do and they actually crisp up just like a thin crust pizza!!! Of course I had to come up with my own variation and I also found it much easier to keep everyone happy by making them personal pan pizzas. My kids love decorating their own pizzas before baking them!
Personal Pan Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Making personal pizzas is so much fun! You can also make them healthy by using cauliflower crust. Top with your favorite toppings. It's pizza time!
Ingredients
- 2 heads organic cauliflower
- 3 pastured eggs
- 2 cups shredded raw parmesan
- 1 Tbsp organic Italian seasoning
- 1 Tbsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Chop cauliflower heads into smaller pieces and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
- Spread it evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F until it becomes fragrant (about 10 minutes).
- Lay a flour sack towel inside of a large bowl and dump the cauliflower into the towel.
- Let the cauliflower cool completely.
- Squeeze the cauliflower inside the towel to get the liquid out.
- You will be amazed at how much actually wrings out!
Here is what it looks like all squeezed out
- Now add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well with your hands.
- Spread onto a Silpat lined baking sheet.
- Make sure you spread evenly.
- Bake at 425°F until it starts to brown on the top, then take it out and flip it.
- Bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Now, add your favorite toppings and sauce (get my pizza sauce recipe HERE).
- Top with cheese and bake again until the cheese is melted.
Make sure everyone gets to add their own toppings!

This recipe looks and sounds so delicious and healthy. A must save. Visiting you from Real Food Friday! Thanks for sharing
i just made it. it taste more like an omelette although it doesnt taste bad, i somehow miss that pizza crust crunch.
thanks for sharing!
Bake them at a higher temp to get the crunch, try the broiler
OK, now add some sauerkraut and Italian sausage and you have the best of the best….just saying…..
Ha Ha Dad!
I have heard of people using cauliflower for making pizza crust, but never tried it however, I have used zucchini. Pinning to my veggie board.
Do you have any alternatives for the parmesan ?
Try any hard cheese
Do you think that the crusts would freeze well? I only need one or two but thought if I made a full batch of them I could freeze them and use when needed. What’s you’re opinion on this?
Yes! I have frozen them before, layered between parchment paper. Just bake or broil to crisp them up again.
I want to try this ASAP! Any cheese free suggestions? Our house is dairy free, half is gluten free and always looking for grain free options for my kids. Due to additional allergies, I can’t really use dairy free cheese. Any insight is helpful. Thanks!
Cheese is a main ingredient. Not sure what can be substituted for it. There are other gluten and dairy free recipes out there too: https://realfoodrn.com/gluten-free-pizza-crust/
do you think a non-dairy cheese would work for this? I can’t eat dairy. Thank you
Sure, as long as it is a cheese that melts well. The cheese is the “glue” that holds the crust together.
Cannot wait to try these. Have been wanting to make and this recipe looks perfect!
Thanks so much!
About how many cups of cauliflower rice do you need? And have you tried using the already riced cauliflower rice? Thank you!
I would say its about 3 cups, bo I haven’t tried the pre-riced stuff yet.
We really loved this! Definitely going to make some in big batches and freeze!
