THE RECIPE
Crust:
- 8 egg whites
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 – 4 tablespoons olive oil for brushing
- Pinch of sea salt for edges
- 1/4 a head of cauliflower, cut in small florets
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- One or two handfuls arugula
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce for drizzling
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Mix up your crust by whisking together the egg whites, coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl.
- If things look clumpy, just keep whisking, only a little harder and faster until everything is well combined and sticky looking.
- Place in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
- In a large bowl, combine your cauli florets, coconut oil, garlic powder, and BBQ sauce.
- Toss until the cauli is well coated.
- Place the cauliflower on a lined baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400F for 20 minutes. When it is done baking, place in a bowl and set aside.
- Reduce the oven heat to 350F.
- Get new parchment paper to line the pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread the dough mixture into a circle. You want it to be 1/2 an inch thick or less.
- The texture of the dough won’t be like typical flour dough. It’ll be sticky and more like batter. Trust me on this!
- Once the dough is in the perfect form, brush it liberally with olive oil.
- Bake it for 20 minutes.
- Remove the crust from the oven, sprinkle on the cheese, and spread the cauli on top. Drizzle an additional couple tablespoons of BBQ sauce on top of the pizza.
- Brush the crust edges again with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake for another 10 minutes.
- If you want things to brown up a bit, broil on high for 2 minutes. This will make the outer crust more crunchy and yummy.
- Remove the pizza and let it sit for a couple minutes. Sprinkle with arugula and cut into slices!
