Directions

Pulse the steamed cauliflower in a food processor until it has a rice-like size and texture. (You can also use frozen riced cauliflower and skip this step.)
Squeeze the riced cauliflower through a cheesecloth or dish towel to remove excess moisture.
Place the cauliflower and coconut flour into a large mixing bowl.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and spices.
Combine the eggs and spices with the cauliflower and coconut flour and knead the mixture into a smooth dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and roll out the cauliflower dough into an even, circular crust about 1/2 inch thick. Brush the crust with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil.
Bake the crust at 400ºF for 30 minutes.
For the pesto, add the basil leaves, parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic cloves, avocado oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the food processor. Blend the ingredients until smooth.
Spread the pesto over the pizza crust. Layer veggies and cheese on top of the pesto.
Add a few thick lines of Primal Kitchen Plant Based Ranch. Finish off with red pepper flakes, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a light drizzle of Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil, if desired.
Pop the pizza in the oven for another 6-7 minutes at 400ºF, or until the veggies are tender. Enjoy!

Recipe Note

Dough not combining well? Add 8 oz. of goat cheese to your dough mixture before kneading for a smoother crust.
