Ingredients
Cauliflower Crust
1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets (should yield 3 cups of
cauliflower rice)
1 egg
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (Just a little tip- I ALWAYS grate my own cheese. Cheese that is shredded and packaged has a cornstarch coating and will not melt as well. The good thing about this recipe is that you already have your food processer out, so you can just use that to grate the cheese,,,voila!)
½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
Topping
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup cooked spinach
¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Handful sun-dried tomatoes
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and place a rack in the middle.

Using your hands, press the mixture onto the baking sheet and shape into a thin pizza
“disc”. I made mine as thin as possible so that it would be crispy. When I made "breadsticks" in the past, they were a little soggier than I wanted. Making your dough thin will help crisp it up.
