I almost gave up at Trader Joe’s when I looked at the cauliflower crust pizza as it had too many carbs. Not only carb, it had many other things I didn’t want to have. However, the issue was I had no idea we can make cauliflower pizza at home – until I tried this recipe.

Even though I could eat the whole stuff yet stay in control of the macros but 3 servings fills me up. For these reasons I’ve fallen in love with this keto low-carb pizza.

What Can I Substitute In This Keto Pizza Recipe?

For the Crust:

  • Cauliflower: Ran out of cauliflower? Try broccoli rice. It’s low-carb and gives you a good pizza base also.
  • Parmesan Cheese: If for any reason you’re avoiding dairy, then try nutritional yeast. Remember, to add something that binds everything together like extra eggs or a vegan cheese.
  • Eggs: For each egg, replace with a tablespoon of ground chia or flaxseeds mixed with three tablespoons of water to work as a binder.
  • Psyllium Husk: No Psyllium husk on hand? Ground flaxseed works just as well for keeping all your ingredients in place.

For the Toppings:

  • Tomato Sauce: Swap in some pesto or a creamy sauce that’s sure to please everyone.
  • Cheddar Cheese: You can go for mozzarella, provolone, or a vegan option.
  • Olives and Green Bell Peppers: Switch things up with any low-carb veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or artichokes.
  • Oregano and Basil: You can also experiment with thyme, rosemary, or even a sprinkle of chili flakes to find your new favorite flavor combo.
