4 from 83 reviews

A delicious and healthy gluten-free broccoli pizza crust recipe that combines fresh broccoli, eggs, and Parmesan cheese to create a low-carb alternative to traditional pizza bases. Topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and mushrooms, this pizza is baked to perfection for a crispy, flavorful meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving (9-10 inch pizza)

Ingredients

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 large head of broccoli
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Toppings

  • Tomato sauce
  • Mixed mushrooms
  • 1 Mozzarella cheese ball or equivalent sliced mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 390°F (200ºC). Line a round baking tray with parchment paper to ensure the pizza base does not stick and for easy cleanup.
  2. Pulse the Broccoli: Place broccoli florets into a food processor and pulse until they form small granules similar to the texture of rice.
  3. Remove Excess Moisture: Transfer the processed broccoli onto a clean kitchen towel. Wrap it tightly and squeeze firmly to extract as much moisture as possible, which is crucial for a crispy crust.
  4. Mix the Crust Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained broccoli, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until a compact and consistent mixture forms.
  5. Shape the Pizza Base: Take the broccoli mixture and spread it evenly onto the prepared baking tray, shaping it into a round pizza base around 9-10 inches in diameter for an even bake.
  6. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the base turns slightly golden and feels firm to the touch.
  7. Add the Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven. Spread tomato sauce evenly over the top, then add slices of mozzarella cheese and arrange the mixed mushrooms as desired.
  8. Finish Baking: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust achieves a crispy texture.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes after baking to let the toppings set. Slice and serve your delicious gluten-free broccoli pizza hot.

Notes

  • Be sure to squeeze out as much water from the broccoli as possible to prevent a soggy crust.
  • You can customize toppings based on your preference, such as adding olives, bell peppers, or your favorite herbs.
  • This recipe is suitable for gluten-free diets due to the broccoli crust substitute.
  • For extra crispiness, you can bake the crust a few minutes longer before adding toppings.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for best melting and flavor results.
