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 an almond meal for protein, flaxseed for omega-3, and fiber to boost the nutritional value!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and grease pan with Coconut Oil (as needed) .

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.
