Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place riced cauliflower on a large sheet tray; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a large pinch each of salt and pepper; toss. Spread cauliflower in an even layer and roast for 10 minutes. Flip cauliflower with a spatula, then roast 10 minutes more; let cool.

Add cooled cauliflower to a medium bowl along with remaining crust ingredients, including a pinch each of salt and pepper; mix.

Line the same baking sheet you used for the cauliflower with a silicone baking mat. Pour cauliflower mixture onto mat and flatten to a 10-inch round. Bake 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and edges are crisp. Let cool several minutes, then use a flexible spatula to loosen the crust from the mat; carefully flip it over so the bottom is face up. Bake for 10 minutes more, or until crisp. Add your favorite toppings and bake 5 minutes more, or until cheese has melted.
