Just like its big relative, cauliflower crust pizza, but better! Easy and fun to eat, it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser!
I made a larger quantity to fit a 9 x 13 baking dish. I lined the dish with parchment paper, then mixed all the ingredients, added a little bit extra cheese than what was called for, put the mixture into the baking dish, patted it down, and baked it for 30 minutes. After cooling, I picked up the parchment paper at the sides, and set it on the counter. Then I cut it into strips. We ended up dipping and then covering our individual slices with spaghetti sauce…omg…amazing!
Love this recipe. I’ve tried the bigger version before, but this bite-size held together much better. I didn’t have fresh mozzarella so I used the grated stuff that comes in a can. I also threw in some feta cheese. I put in some spices called “pizza seasoning” into the crust. I used squeeze garlic verses the garlic powder. we had some cooked hamburger and tiny pepperoni so I threw that on for a topping. Even my hubby who is disgusted by these type of bread replacement recipes liked them! This will be our new Friday night pizza go-to.
I made this for my parents who must eat gluten free. My dad hadn’t had pizza in a long time and he said it was a success! My mom said it was tastier than some pizzas she’s had from restaurants. I made it as written except cut the mozzarella in the “dough” to a half cup, and spread it (on parchment) like a traditional round pizza instead of using a muffin tin. After 15 minutes of cooking, I flipped it and cooked it an additional 5 minutes. Then I added the toppings and cooked long enough to melt the cheese on top. I felt the other ingredients and spices were perfect as written. As a second option, we have used some cheddar in the topping cheese and used sweet peppers and onions…yum!

This past year has been a struggle as I attempt to get my family on board with eating gluten free. It has been one disappointing dish after another…until now. These cauliflower pizza bites are incredible. My picky children ate them all and then asked me to make more so they could have a gluten free after school snack. Incredibly delicious!!!
Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower, cut into large chunks
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/3 cup pizza sauce
Directions
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.
