Ingredients
  

For the Cauliflower Crust
  • 1 head cauliflower Make sure to remove the leaves and stem.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Use halal-certified options if necessary.
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Use halal-certified options if necessary.
  • 1 piece egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, cut it into chunks, and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a fine rice-like consistency.
  3. Transfer riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for about 8 minutes.
  4. Let it cool slightly, then wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  5. In a bowl, combine drained cauliflower, Parmesan, mozzarella, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the mixture to the center, pressing it into a round crust approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Baking
  1. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven, add your favorite toppings, and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

For a crispier crust, ensure you squeeze out as much moisture from the cooked cauliflower as possible. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze individual slices for up to a month. Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes for best results.
