I had been experimenting with different cauliflower recipes, and I thought that it might be possible to make a pizza crust with cauliflower. I started by ricing the cauliflower and then mixing it with some eggs, almond flour, and Parmesan cheese. I then pressed the mixture into a pizza pan and baked it in the air fryer. The result was a delicious and crispy pizza crust that was perfect for topping with my favorite pizza toppings.
