Time 1h34m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large head cauliflower, cut into large chunks
2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
⅓ cup pizza sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper squares.
  • Grate cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl using a fine grater. Chop up any remaining pieces that are too small to grate but too big for the crust.
  • Microwave cauliflower until soft and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Pour cauliflower into a clean dish towel cool easily handled, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Wrap the towel around the cauliflower and squeeze out as much liquid as possible; the drier the cauliflower is, the better it will hold together as a crust once mixed with the other ingredients.
  • Combine cauliflower, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl.
  • Scoop cauliflower crust mixture into prepared muffin tin, dividing the mixture evenly among the cups. Pat down cauliflower mixture with the back of a spoon, making it compact.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each cauliflower crust. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, dividing evenly among the crusts.
  • Bake until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Let sit in pan for 5 minutes before moving each bite to a cooling rack. Let cool for 10 minutes. Peel parchment paper squares off the crusts and serve on a platter.

I was excited to try these pizza bites, but I was disappointed. The crust was too thick and the toppings were bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pizza bites turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I would definitely make these again.

These pizza bites were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more sauce.

I love that these pizza bites are a healthier alternative to traditional pizza. They're still just as delicious, but they're much lower in calories and carbs.
