Ingredients
- 1 medium head broccoli (~ 350g)
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion granules
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 150 g grated cheese (~ 1 1/4 cups) - I used mozzarella and cheddar
- Your choice of toppings - I used sliced tomato and black olives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4 / 350°F).
- Cut the broccoli into several rough chunks, and add to a food processor. Blitz until no lumps remain. Transfer the broccoli to a large mixing bowl, and add the eggs, garlic powder, onion granules, and plenty of salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Line two baking trays with non-stick paper, and thoroughly spray with oil, then divide the broccoli mixture onto the two trays. Use the back of a spoon to carefully spread the broccoli mixture into the shape of two pizza crusts, smoothing over any holes that appear.
- Bake the broccoli pizza crusts for around 25-30 minutes, or until firm and starting to turn golden brown (the exact timings will depend on how thin you made your pizza crusts).
- Use a spatula to make sure the crust isn't stuck to the paper. Then, add some grated cheese and your choice of toppings. Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly crispy.
Notes
If you want to be able to pick up the pizza slices by hand, as opposed to using cutlery, make sure you don't add too many particularly heavy toppings.
