Time 1h3m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli florets
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ cup packed finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
2 tablespoons Italian bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place 1/2 of the broccoli in a food processor and pulse until texture resembles rice, about 20 times. Repeat with the remaining 1/2 of the broccoli.
  • Fill a large shallow saucepan with salt and 1/2 inch water over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the broccoli rice. Cover and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool for 10 minutes. Transfer broccoli rice to the center of a dish towel. Wrap up the towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  • Place Parmesan cheese, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the broccoli rice and mix until dough is well incorporated and sticks together when rolled into a ball.
  • Place dough in the center of the prepared baking sheet; press into a 12-inch circle about 1/3-inch thick. Drizzle crust with olive oil and season with sea salt.
  • Bake on the top rack of the preheated oven until edges are crisp and lightly browned, 18 to 20 minutes.

Broccoli rice pizza crust was surprisingly delicious! I was skeptical at first, but the crust turned out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It held up well to the toppings and didn't get soggy.
