Low Carb Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Cauliflower and eggplant pizza crust, topped with sweet potato mash, kale, onions, and squash. The great thing about this modified crust is that I’ve added almond meal for protein and flaxseed for omega-3 and fiber to boost the nutritional value! (Partnership with Panasonic)

Author's Notes

I used yellow squash, onions, and kale with a bit of shredded cheese as my toppings but you could definitely go a more traditional route and use a tomato-based pizza sauce, with whatever veggies and/or meat toppings you prefer.
