Easy cauliflower kale pizza crust
This is a super Easy cauliflower kale pizza crust, I begin tasting new recipes the other day and loved this Kale fried Cauliflower rice so, I decided to keep trying out different things with the same base (Cauliflower and kale).
In a food processor add the cauliflower cut in florets, the kale, trimmed and washed, push pulse until you get the desired texture, for me is large crumbs.
In a frying pan add two tablespoons of olive oil and add the cauliflower kale crumbs and cook for 5 – 8 minutes and there’s no liquid left. Let this mixture cool down.
Put the cooled cauliflower kale crumbs in a clean kitchen towel and drain all the liquid. Then in a bowl add egg, cheese, salt and pepper.

Using your hand, press the ball to flatten and extend the dough with your finger until it forms a pizza crust. If sticky, slightly oil your hands with olive oil.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the kale crust is firm and starts to get brown on the sides.
Remove from the oven, add your pizza toppings ingredients starting with sauce then grated cheese. (Any other toppings are welcome)

I still have not tried a cauliflower pizza crust Gaila. But I like the addition of the kale in your recipe. I’ll need to give it a try. You make it look easy!
Thank you Mary Ann for your kind words!
I’ve never tried vegetable base pizza, Gaila. This one looks so good that I need to try it this summer, along with that cauliflower rice:)
To my surprise it was really good!
This is a perfect meal – breakfast, lunch or dinner with different toppings!
I agree with you Alma! thank you for stopping by!
So I’ve seen cauliflower crust pizzas before, but I gotta say that the addition of kale is new. It sounds amazing, though! I’ve never actually made a cauliflower crust pizza, but we are huge pizza fans around our house…so I suspect I finally need to break down and try it. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this one, Gaila!!
I have been on a healthier menu lately (before going on vacation) and I have tried lots of new things and this one in particular, I loved it!
