Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray.
2
Place cauliflower florets in a food processor; process to consistency of rice and spoon into a large bowl. Add 1/2 c cheese, flour, eggs, oregano, salt, garlic and pepper; stir to combine. Spoon crust mixture into two 8-inch circles on prepared pan; smooth with a spoon to form an even layer (mold into a heart shape with your hands, if desired). Bake until medium brown on bottom, about 20 minutes; carefully flip over. Bake until evenly browned, 10 minutes more.
3
Spoon 1/2 c sauce over each crust and sprinkle each with remaining 1/2 c cheese; top each with half of pepperoni. Sprinkle with seasoning and bake until heated through and cheese is melted (broil to brown cheese, if desired, about 5 minutes); garnish with fresh basil. Cut each pizza into 4 slices.
