Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 16 ounce head of broccoli
  • 1 egg + 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground oats
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Make broccoli rice by pulsing a large head of broccoli in the food processor about 20 times until it looks like grains of rice. You can also use a cheese grater. Measure out 2 packed cups of broccoli rice.
  3. In a saucepan, begin heating ¼ cup water until steaming. Add the broccoli rice, and then turn off the heat and cover the pan for 5 minutes to let it steam. Once the broccoli rice is steamed, squeeze it in a dish towel to get out any extra water.
  4. In a bowl, combine 1 egg + 1 egg white, olive oil, oat meal, salt, and spices. Add in the broccoli rice and mix everything well.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment and spread the mixture into two little round crusts. Mine were 6 inches across and about ⅓ of an inch thick. Bake these for 15-20 minutes, taking them out when the edges are crispy and have peeled up.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and top pizzas with desired toppings. I used 1 tablespoon pizza sauce per pizza and some sliced onion and cherry tomatoes.
  7. Bake for another 5-8 minutes until toppings are warm.
Notes
See recommendations for baking ware in this post - the crust can be finicky unless you use a baking mat or parchment paper and are patient to let it cool.
