This tasty twist on traditional pizza uses a crispy cauliflower crust topped with savory bacon and tangy artichokes for a deliciously satisfying meal. It’s a great way to enjoy all the flavors you love while sneaking in some veggies.
Start by placing a pizza stone in your oven and preheat it to 425°F (220°C). While the oven is heating, lay your pizza crust on a piece of parchment paper. Spread a good layer of tomato sauce over the crust. In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella and provolone cheeses, then sprinkle about half of that cheese mix evenly over the sauce.
Next, pile on the toppings—cherry tomatoes, sliced onion, spinach, black olives, artichokes, crispy bacon, and mushrooms. Once everything’s on, sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top to help it all stick together.
Carefully slide the pizza, along with the parchment paper, onto the hot pizza stone. Let it bake for about 13 to 15 minutes, until the crust is nice and crispy and the cheese is bubbling and golden. Once done, take it out, slice it up, and enjoy!
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower to avoid a soggy crust.
- Pre-bake the crust until golden brown before adding toppings to help it hold together.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
This pizza offers a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional crusts. The combination of crispy bacon and tender artichokes adds a perfect balance of savory flavors. Plus, using cauliflower makes it a great way to sneak in extra veggies without sacrificing taste.
Serve warm with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. A drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or parsley can add a fresh touch. This pizza also pairs well with a crisp white wine or a light beer.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or on a skillet to keep the crust crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent a soggy texture. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
