Did you know it’s National Pizza Month? This is a food that I feel is worthy of having a whole month dedicated to it. And while I enjoy all types of pizza, I especially love my low carb versions such as this chicken & vegetable low carb pizza.

The crust is made cauliflower and cheese and it’s topped with chicken and an assortment of vegetables as well as … more cheese! One fourth of this pizza is only 4.2g net carbs!

Celebrating Pizza Recipes At Sunday Supper 

We are celebrating Pizza at Sunday Supper this week so I knew I wanted to make some cauliflower crust pizza. I made a similar recipe awhile ago (vegetable cauliflower rounds) which used the cauliflower crust to make an appetizer. It was very tasty and I learned I can put almost anything on this cauliflower base and it would taste good.

 

Making The Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Making a low carb pizza crust from cauliflower is not hard. You just use riced cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, garlic and eggs. Here’s how you make it:

  1. Cook  cauliflower rice in the microwave for about 10 minutes.
  2. When it’s cooled add egg and mozzarella cheese to make a wet dough.
  3.  Place the dough on a silicone or parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Make sure to spray the parchment paper with cooking spray if you are using it.
  4. Form the dough into a pizza crust
  5. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until it just starts to brown (see below).

Low Carb Vegetables For This Pizza

For this low carb pizza I chose peppers, red onions, mushrooms and spinach. However you can use whatever vegetables you like. Here are the carb counts for a few pizza topping worthy vegetables. 

  • mushrooms (1.6g net carbs per cup)
  • raw spinach (0.4g net carbs per cup)
  • bell peppers (5.9g net carbs per cup)
  • zucchini (2.7g net carbs per cup)
  • cauliflower (3.2g net carbs per cup)
  • red onions (12.2g net carbs per cup)
  • grape tomatoes (4.8g net carbs per cup)
  • asparagus ( 2.4 net carbs per cup)
  • broccoli ( 6.1 net carbs per cup)

Finishing The Chicken & Vegetable Pizza

While it’s cooking, saute some of the vegetables like the peppers, mushrooms and some of the spinach. When they are cooked, add the rest of the spinach so it’s wilted and the cooked chicken.

Spoon over your crust evenly and then add the raw onions. I like my onions cut thin and a little crunchy. You can omit them if that’s not your thing. Sprinkle some Asiago cheese and back in the oven for about 5 more minutes to melt the cheese.

My husband really liked this and it’s great that we can have a gluten free and low carb pizza dinner every once in awhile. I also made another pizza with chicken and a pepper spread  (Instagram pic) I recently bought in a Middle Eastern store in downtown Pittsburgh. It was tasty too.

244 cals / 13.9g fat/ 6.4g carbs / 2.2g fiber / 23.4g protein = 4.2g net carbs

  8. Lastly add the rest of the spinach and mix so it’s just wilted.

    This pizza looks gorgeous. I tried cauiflower pizza once, but it turned out mushy in the center. I do need to try it again.

      I did not have that problem but maybe it was too thick in the middle or you didn’t cook it long enough? Thanks for stopping by Jennifer!

      Thanks Sandra. I try to find low carb options of the things we love like pizza. That’s not to say that I don’t eat real pizza, I do, but not as much as I used to.

    You know, I have still to try cauliflower crust. It’s one of those that has sat on the ‘to try’ list a while. This sounds like a tasty topping that might just get me there, though
