How to make Low Carb Crispy Cauliflower Parmesan Pizza Crust

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Spread THAWED cauliflower rice on a sheet tray and bake for 17 minutes, tossing the rice after about 10 minutes. Let the cauliflower cool for 5 minutes. Then, combine the rice in a mixing bowl with the remaining ingredients.
Reduce your oven heat to 375 degrees. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to spread the cauliflower mixture on a non-stick sheet tray in a circle ⅛-inch thick. For 2 servings, the crust will be about 8 inches wide. Bake the crust for 17-20 minutes. Watch for the edges to turn dark brown but not burn. The center will be cooked through but slightly more tender than the edges. If you want to add toppings to the crust, add the toppings on after the crust bakes for 10 minutes, then continue with the remaining of the baking time. Cut an 8-inch pizza into 4 slices for serving.
