Low Carb Sheet Pan Pizza is a delicious, healthier alternative to traditional pizza, using a low-carb crust made with cauliflower or almond flour. It’s perfect for those following a low-carb or keto diet but still craving pizza. The great thing about this recipe is that you can top it with your favorite ingredients while keeping the carbs low. Here’s how to make it:

Low Carb Sheet Pan Pizza
Ingredients:
For the Low Carb Crust:

1 medium cauliflower head (or 1 package of pre-riced cauliflower)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Toppings:

1/2 cup pizza sauce (preferably sugar-free for low carb)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, spinach, sausage, etc.)
Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:

1. Prepare the cauliflower crust:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
If using a whole cauliflower, remove the leaves and stem, then chop it into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until it resembles rice or fine crumbs.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Let it cool slightly. Then, place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out any excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. Form the crust:

Spread the cauliflower mixture evenly onto the prepared sheet pan, pressing it into a rectangle or square shape to form a crust about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is firm.

3. Add the toppings:

Remove the crust from the oven. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your favorite toppings. Be sure not to overload with toppings, as the crust can become soggy.

4. Bake the pizza:

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are cooked through.

5. Serve:

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil or any additional herbs, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
Tips:
Cauliflower rice: You can also buy pre-riced cauliflower in the frozen section of most grocery stores to save time.
Customize the toppings: Feel free to add as many low-carb toppings as you’d like. Try grilled chicken, bacon, or a variety of veggies to keep it low-carb and delicious.
Cheese variations: You can substitute mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar or provolone for a different flavor.
Make it ahead: The cauliflower crust can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a day or two before adding the toppings and baking.
This Low Carb Sheet Pan Pizza gives you all the satisfaction of a pizza without the guilt, and it’s customizable for any tastes or dietary preferences. The cauliflower crust is a great base that’s crispy, cheesy, and perfect for holding all your favorite pizza toppings. Enjoy!
