Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of different ways to great various replacements for higher carb food items.
I have tried a couple of different cauliflower pizza recipes, but as most use cheese in the base, that doesn’t give you much cheese leftover for your topping, especially if you are trying to keep your syns low for other parts of your day.
This works really well, obviously it isn’t a crisp base like you would expect with a proper pizza dough, but it holds together well and is super yummy once you add all your toppings.
This will always work well for anyone who is dairy free, as you can just omit the cheese from the topping.
Cauliflower is also a speed food on Slimming World, so just think of all those speed feeds you are getting into your meal too.
For toppings you can go with my suggestion or add whatever you like.
Make a Hawaiian, margherita, veggie or even barbecue chicken pizza. The variations are endless.
When using your healthy extra A choice, this pizza is also SYN FREE. Amazing!!

WW Smart Points - 10
- 1.5 cups/360ml Pizza Sauce(I used my Homemade Pasta sauce, but for a quick version, just use some passata, mixed with a little tomato paste, seasoned well with salt, black pepper, and fresh basil)
- 90g/3oz of mozzarella (2xHEa's)
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, uncooked
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
- salt and black pepper to season.
- fresh basil or parsley, finely chopped
- choice of toppings (I used spinach and some of my homemade sausage)
- Preheat oven to 200c of 400f (gas mark 6)
- Break cauliflower up into florets.
- Gradually adding to a blender, and pulsing until it is all finely chopped.
- Then put it on the blend cycle and blend until it resembles a really fine mix, kind of like a dough.
- Tip out onto some cheesecloth or a clean tea towel and squeeze thoroughly to remove all moisture.
- Add back to the blender with the 3 eggs, and blend to combine.
- Tip into a bowl and season with the garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and herbs
- Line a tray with some parchment (you can use a rectangle tray or around pizza tray). Spread the mixture out on the tray, you want the mixture to be even, not too thick and not too thin. Depending on your tray size, the mixture may actually fill two trays, I just used one large rectangle baking tray)
- Place in the oven and bake until the mixture if firm and golden (approx 30-40 mins)
- Remove from oven and spread with pizza sauce, topped with your choice of toppings and the mozzarella.
- Place in the oven and bake until cheese is golden and melted.
