Why I love Gluten-free Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipe

Oh my goodness…it’s seriously amazing!  I wouldn’t have never guessed this crust was made from cauliflower had we not made it ourselves. You’re just going to love it!

AND a flash from the past: Little Miss Ysidra and I had a really fabulous time last weekend at the SLC Home Show cooking and baking and entertaining our little hearts out…

Ingredients in Gluten-free Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipe

  • Cauliflower- is a nutritional powerhouse that supports weight loss, heart health, and digestion. This low-calorie, low-carb cruciferous vegetable is packed with fiber and essential vitamins (C, K, and folate), and also contains potent antioxidants like sulforaphane, which help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
  • Eggs- are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper. Egg yolks contain more calories and fat than the whites. They are a source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and lecithin, the compound that enables emulsification in recipes such as hollandaise or mayonnaise.
  • Parmesan Cheese- is a good source of protein and fat. It’s rich in vitamins and minerals like calcium, vitamin A, vitamins B6 and B12, phosphorus, zinc, and copper.
  • Chives- are nutrient-dense, low-calorie herbs that offer a variety of health benefits, including enhanced immune function, stronger bones, improved heart health, and protection against oxidative stress.
  • Basil- is an excellent source of vitamin K, manganese, iron, vitamin A, and vitamin C. It’s also a good source of calcium, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Parsley- Parsley is a versatile herb that provides a concentrated source of nutrients. It’s particularly rich in vitamins A, C, and K. The vitamins and beneficial plant compounds in parsley may improve bone health, protect against chronic diseases, and provide antioxidant benefits.
  • Sea Salt- is mostly composed of sodium chloride, a compound that helps regulate fluid balance and blood pressure in the body. Since it’s minimally processed, it contains some minerals, including potassium, iron, and calcium.
  • Black Pepper-  its active compound piperine may have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Laboratory studies suggest that black pepper may improve cholesterol levels, blood sugar control, and brain and gut health.

    WOW, this sounds so yummy. I learned last year that I have really bad food allergies. It has taken sometime to come to terms with giving up lots of my favorites. Then find recipes I can actually eat. This one made me so happy this morning. Book marking it to make. I can eat every ingredient you have in the recipe. I don’t have to change a thing. Oh, happy day! Looking forward to giving it a try.
