Purple Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Wow! This was the first time I tried making Cauliflower Crust from scratch and I loved it! It was pretty simple, just pulse the cauliflower, mix in a few ingredients to bind the crust, and then bake! Make sure you squeeze out all of the water from the cauliflower, or the crust wont be as crispy. Next time, I am going to try using a cheese cloth instead of paper towels.
I was curious to see how the purple color would turn out. When I microwaved the cauliflower, it seems like I lost some of the color. But once the crust was done baking, the purple definitely got more vibrant! Perfect for summer!
