pie. We jumped on the low carb bandwagon when I was pregnant and had high blood sugar earlier this year, and I became
cauliflower in place of bread and potatoes. I made Cauliflower Chowder and Cauliflower Breadsticks and even Cauliflower Pizza!
the dough into a rectangle, fill with toppings and lots of cheese, and fold over to make an extra cheesy stromboli!
Slice and serve with marinara sauce for dipping and I guarantee you will think twice about eating the same ol’ traditional pizza next time!
Easy Cheesy Cauliflower Crust Stromboli
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower chopped (about 5-6 cups)
- 4 eggs beaten
- 4 cups shredded Cheddar or Italian blend cheese
- 12 oz jar Marinara or Pizza sauce
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 4 cloves garlic pressed
- salt and pepper to taste
- Pizza toppings of your choice we used sliced olives, pineapple, and pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets.
- Add chopped cauliflower to a steamer and steam until softened and fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Add cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until the texture of rice.
- Place cauliflower in a hand towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess liquid.
- Add cauliflower to a bowl. Then add in eggs, 2 cups of shredded cheese, oregano, garlic and salt and pepper. Stir until combined.
- Pour half onto a lined baking sheet and shape into a rectangular shape. Repeat with remaining cauliflower mix on other lined baking sheet.
- Bake the crusts for about 20-25 minutes or until golden.
- Remove from oven and top each with ½ cup or so of marinara sauce (spreading to cover) and toppings of your choice sprinkled in the center.
- Then add ½ cup shredded cheese on top of each. Leave a barrier around the sides so you can fold over and seal the stromboli.
- Very gently, using a spatula, fold over the crust on both sides (similar to a burrito but without folding the ends). Don’t worry if it’s messy- you are going to cover it with more cheese!
- Top with an additional ½ cup cheese on each. I like to add a few pepperonis on top too!
- Bake in the oven for another 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and stromboli is warmed throughout.
- Slice and serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping (optional).
