New Recipe! Pizza With Cauliflower/carrot/kale Crust

[WinterSong]

Hi all!

 

I wanted to share some of the new great recipes I've tried! I've really been enjoying paleo and no-grain recipes, so this one was great for my pizza fix. It's a cauliflower/carrot/kale pizza crust. I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't call it pizza exactly, but I would call it a great mock-pizza. Make sure you have a great sauce - I really think that's what brings the recipe together.

 

The recipe below is by Fresh4Five and makes a full pizza. Cut it in half for a personal size. The only thing I did differently was that I kept it in the oven the second time around until the cheese browned. 

 

Enjoy!

And for those of you who don't feel you deserve the punishment of a pizza crust made of kale and other veggies, you can use frozen hash brown patties as individual pizza crusts.  Just kidding - this looks like a great recipe for someone who likes vegetables a lot more than I do. :-b
