How to make cauliflower crust veggie pizza
First, you need a crust. You can check out my cauliflower pizza crust post where I’ve broken done the process of making a low carb pizza crust.
After you’ve done baking your cauliflower pizza crust, remove from the oven and let it stand for a minute before topping it.
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush olive oil over the top of the crust. This is to prevent the pizza toppings from making your pizza crust soggy.
Spread around 2-3 tablespoons of pizza sauce, leaving about ½ inch border. You can make your own pizza sauce or use a store-bought.
Then top with mozzarella cheese and your favorite veggies. Bake it for around 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves.
How to serve
Veggie pizza can be serve as a snack or as a meal paired with either a hot or cold beverage. I personally like coffee to go with it.
How to store leftover pizza
To store, refrigerate the cooled pizza in a covered container for up to three days. To reheat, broil till heated in the oven.
