Cauliflower Pizza Bites

I made a larger quantity to fit a 9 x 13 baking dish. I lined the dish with parchment paper, then mixed all the ingredients, added a little bit extra cheese than what was called for, put the mixture into the baking dish, patted it down, and baked it for 30 minutes. After cooling, I picked up the parchment paper at the sides, and set it on the counter. Then I cut it into strips. We ended up dipping and then covering our individual slices with spaghetti sauce...omg...amazing!

Love this recipe. I've tried the bigger version before, but this bite-size held together much better. I didn't have fresh mozzarella so I used the grated stuff that comes in a can. I also threw in some feta cheese. I put in some spices called "pizza seasoning" into the crust. I used squeeze garlic verses the garlic powder. we had some cooked hamburger and tiny pepperoni so I threw that on for a topping. Even my hubby who is disgusted by these type of bread replacement recipes liked them! This will be our new Friday night pizza go-to.

I made this for my parents who must eat gluten free. My dad hadn't had pizza in a long time and he said it was a success! My mom said it was tastier than some pizzas she's had from restaurants. I made it as written except cut the mozzarella in the "dough" to a half cup, and spread it (on parchment) like a traditional round pizza instead of using a muffin tin. After 15 minutes of cooking, I flipped it and cooked it an additional 5 minutes. Then I added the toppings and cooked long enough to melt the cheese on top. I felt the other ingredients and spices were perfect as written. As a second option, we have used some cheddar in the topping cheese and used sweet peppers and onions...yum!

I missed an important direction but these still came out delicious! Make sure to cook crust until GOLDEN BROWN otherwise, the pizza comes out mushy (but still tasty). Also, instead of using parchment paper, I used a silicon muffin mold. It's nice because each little pizza can have different toppings. Also - be aware that your house will stink (thanks sulfur) but it's still worth making these treats!

This past year has been a struggle as I attempt to get my family on board with eating gluten free. It has been one disappointing dish after another...until now. These cauliflower pizza bites are incredible. My picky children ate them all and then asked me to make more so they could have a gluten free after school snack. Incredibly delicious!!!

I shredded the cauliflower in the food processor. Also added a slice of italian sausage I had previously coooked between the sauce and cheese prior to rebaking. I was short half cup mozzarella cheese so I addedd half cup shredded cheddar. This is delicious and I will make it again. A good way to lessen carbs.

My 12 year old grand daughter and I made these!!! They were a big hit!! Didn't change anything!!! Yum

Only change was to use my pizza baking stone, still using parchment paper, and adjusted cook time (longer). This is the absolute and excellent crust for pizza lovers who want to avoid the carbs (whether you shred or buy it frozen style). Very important to squeeze the water out. Many variations and can be made to taste. So good, I wrote a review. On this sight daily, and this is the first time I took time to post. Thank you!

I used a small Cauliflower and used a blender, and microwaved it. Added the cheese like it says, made my own sauce, 3 roma tomatoes and spices, turned out great. I made it in one cup cake tin, 12 pics. My honey loved them and ate too many!!! Great dish and healthy!!

I’ve made this dish several times. It took a few times before I simplified the process. I grate the cauliflower in a food processor, spread in evenly on a large cookie sheet, without a silicone baking mat, and bake @ 375 degrees for 35 minutes, and cool. My husband found mini & regular size silicone muffin trays. After spooning the cauliflower into the trays, I use a drinking glass and spin the glass over the mixture to compact it. We also make this using the mini cupcake tray & have these delicious little bites for appetizers. Additionally, they store well in the refrigerator for approximately 1week. Excellent dish, our friends, my husband & I love this dish!

Turned out well and party peeps enjoyed. Made HALF recipe with 1 bag (16oz) Riced Cauliflower; made 12 muffin flexipan crusts. Initial bake might need more than 15 min to get sufficiently browned and dried out to be "crusty". Still tasted like cauliflower tho. Maybe season the mixture more next time. Topped with sauce, pepperoni slice and cheese.

Really great recipe! Made about 14 “bites” in my muffin pans. Wouldn’t change recipe at all. Delicious, my family loved it.

great food item good for a party or get together

Way too many steps and fuss for the finished product. They don't stay warm very long so don't plan to take them to a pot luck dinner.

Kids enjoyed making this with me. I used 1 bag of cauliflower rice. Next time I will use 2 bags so that the bites are a bit thicker.

Followed the recipe to a T except used homemade pizza sauce. I also added 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper to the crust instead of the onion powder since I didn't have any. I cut up pepperoni and topped it with that. They were delicious. My daughter had no idea the crust was made from cauliflower and she absolutely loved them. I made a few with pesto and goat cheese too and they were amazing! Next time I'll be getting even more creative with the toppings!

Fantastic and so yummy! I will definitely make this again.

This is so good! I liked that it browned on the bottom. I left it to cook a little longer. I will definitely be making this a family favorite.

Awesome, made exactly as directions say, thanks for the tip on getting the moisture out of cauliflower, that's key to succsess,

This sounds absolutely incredible. I will buy the riced cauliflower from Green Giant and use it instead. I'm hopeful it will taste just as good and it will be a great time saver.

I will make it again

These were a hit an my New Years party and other times too. I have learned to add a tablespoon(ish) of coconut flour to stabilize the cauliflower base if I don't get all the water out effectively. I didn't have pizza sauce, so I added tiny pieces of salami and sun-dried tomato for fun. Excellent gluten-free snack!

I let the cauliflower 'rice' stay in the fridge with paper towels to absorb some of the moisture before cooking. I did end up with a lot more cauliflower dough than was needed for 12 servings, though. I made no changes, and my veggie-hating husband actually enjoyed them and said that he would eat them again!

Did it two ways... mini and whole pizza... both ways came out great!!

I added 1/2 cup sharp cheddar replacing the last 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Rave reviews at Christmas family gathering. Will make again.

I just made the cauliflower pizza bites. It made easier by using a bag (1 Lb) of cauliflower rice. I used 1/2 of cheese in the recipe . Also, I greased muffin pan. Tried to stuff parchment in the pan was too much trouble. Tasted fine. I will make it again.

I made it as instructed. Browned the top and topped it with chopped scallions, chopped cauliflower and crisp bacon. Without tomato sauce and herbs, all the flavors were dominate. Very good

I liked it , it was easy to put together. I like cauliflower well enough but if I make this again I'd add something more to the cauliflower, more salt or garlic, or a tasty cheddar rather than the mozzarella, to reduce the cauliflower-y taste.

We added pepperoni and veggies to our pizza bites. (Everyone in the family made their own favorite pizza on several ) they were devoured and we then moved on to the pizza pin wheels (3 out of 5 do not like cauliflower [and they had no idea until after we finished], pizza pin wheels were back up! Next time I'll double the recipe and maybe have leftovers)

My son and I enjoyed these pizza bites very much. I am already thinking of other flavors to make.!!!

Did not make any changes, was delicious, took them to a pool party. Put the cauliflower in the VitaMix just a bit at a time, did an excellent job to get the right consistency.

Tasted fantastic, would probably be even better with pepperoni.

I made this as an appetizer to bring to a party , it was a hit ! I used a frozen bag of riced cauliflower, thawed it and drained it well. It was great. Delicious!

Yummy

These were a big hit at a covered dish dinner. I made several different types of toppings on them. I had a problem with them sticking to muffin cups and cutting parchment and putting it in the muffin pans was a pain. I just got silicone muffin cups and can't wait to make it again. Silicone muffin pans might even work better.

I used 'muffin top' pans (sometimes called whoopie pie pans). worked great. I also didnt bother to cook the cauliflower first, and it worked fine (I DID use a convection oven to dry things out). made standard pepperoni and bbq chicken versions. delish!! it's easier to eat if you julienne pepperoni if you use it.

Took the advice of one review and made them into 1' wide bread sticks. Made 2 batches on two separate large sheet pans, and pressed the mixture in to a rectangle shape. Baked for 8 - rotated - Baked for 8 again - rotated and baked another 4 until golden brown, then added the remaining mozzarella and baked again until golden brown - broiled it at the end to get a nice browned cheese. Removed from oven and used parchment to lift off of the cookie sheet. This cools very slowly and we were in a hurry so just laid the entire thing in the freezer to firm up. Then we cut strips using a scissors. We dipped into sauces at the party (most spread sauces on top of the sticks but you could use these sticks and dip into any kind of sauce). Delicious!

I made no changes to this recipe. I did use my own homemade spaghetti sauce. It took me longer to get this made than the recipe suggested, so next time I make them (and I will) I plan to purchase the cauliflower already shredded.

i made it vegan except for butter, and i used a ton of butter and olive oil and water and baking powder as substitute for an egg. 10/10 would make again

I had a frozen 12 oz bag of riced cauliflower that I used for this recipe which I cooked in the microwave once it was thawed, then allowed it to cool and squeezed out as much water as I could...it didn't look like there was enough left, but it worked out perfectly. I mixed it with the ingredients listed plus some extra oregano since I didn't have any onion powder and patted it into a parchment lined baking pan 7.5" x 9.5" that fits into my toaster oven. Topped with some extra Parmesan, more mozzarella and black olives, it was delicious... I cut into 18 squares. Very filling & tasty with a nice salad! I was surprised at how much like pizza that this tastes like, and could not tell that the crust was cauliflower at all. I am going to freeze the leftovers for later and definitely will make this again.

Great recipe as is or add a little of your favorite toppings to each bite! Delicious!

Great recipe! Even my child who doesn’t eat cauliflower, liked it.

This was excellent! I followed Luvtocreate's suggestions but without the parchment paper. I used a buttered rectangular glass baking dish and baked it for about 35 minutes. This is something I'll definitely be making again.

Since I'm dairy sensitive, we made it with Daiya mozzarella. They turned out absolutely fantastic!! We will make these again and again. You won't believe the "crust" is cauliflower.

Yes

They were better than I expected. Everyone loved them,they taste really really good. Thanks a bunched

I burnt the crust but it was still so delicious!

Was quite tasty, but cauliflower didn't get crispy as I would've liked... never seems to with these cauliflower pizza recipes..

These are very good. I followed reviewer advice to bake the cauliflower rather than wrap it in a towel. I followed another reviewer tip to compress the cauliflower into the muffin cups with a glass. I was happy with the results. They are pretty sloppy until they cool completely.

really good, a little too eggy so ill have to cut that down next time. I also recommend baking the crusts longer than is recommended here to get a crispy texture. That's my preference

I definitely use the food processor. And I freeze broccoli and cauliflower in the highest season of Canada. And the Frozen cauliflower works perfectly. I always add extras like pepperoni and olives as we like. Have brought to numerous parties and everybody loves them they don't have to be hot to enjoy them

The pizza bites are awesome! Just follow recipe! I will definitely make again.

It was very tasty, even my husband that doesn’t care for cauliflower liked it. I used a cookie scoop to place the crust in the parchment lined tin and used a small gravy ladle to compress and shape it. Reduced the mess and worked to easily shape it.

I made these twice hoping the second time would work out better than the first. It was the shells that did not cooperate with me. The first time I used the parchment paper and they stuck to the paper so could not use them. So I tried a second time using the cheese directly on the cookie sheet. That didn't work either! So both times I ended up with a taco salad...

it was delicious

It was a messy beginning with the cauliflower. I did not grate the cauliflower, I used my food processor. Once mixed I put some in muffin tin as suggested, and the remaining into a round cake pan. All baked well, very good taste. A healthy snack or meal for lunch. 4 stars.

It was delicious and my guys liked it too!

Easy and delish

Very delicious

Very good

I was blown away at these little pizzas. I added my favorite pizza toppings, bacon, jalapenos, blue cheese and cilantro. They were better than regular pizza. I didn't want the extra carbs from the tomato or pizza sauce, so I simmered a small amount of spices from a spaghetti seasoning packet in a little water and put a scant teaspoon on each one. Also, I didn't want to deal with a cupcake pan, so I put them on a cookie sheet and spread them the size I wanted and had little pizzas. Yum, yum!

Yummy and filling! I used 24oz of frozen cauliflower rice I had on hand. Microwaved it and squeezed the water out as directed. Didn't have mozzarella so I used Mexican-style cheese blend instead, and added a sprinkle of dried Italian seasoning. It filled up my 12 muffin tins. Will definitely make again!

Already made it twice. They finish very quickly. Very delicious. Second time, I added pepperoni by breaking them up in bits on top of the sauce in step in 8 and then topped it with sauce.

Easy to make and delicious

Delicious! Be sure to use parchment paper. I made the mistake of using cupcake papers. Didn't work. They stuck like glue. I peeled it off as best I could because these are so good.

Very tasty

Oh so good, and easy too

No changes will make it again

They were so tasty! The crust is nice and crunchy!

Did not change a thing. We loved it and I will make again.

I've brought these bites to two potlucks in a month and people really loved these. Yes it is quite time consuming to make but well worth the effort!

Great recipe! I used cauliflower rice and it came out amazing! My husband even said it was good

Delicious my family could not tell it was cauliflower. There are not too many steps as one reviewer states if you love to cook you don’t mind doing the leg work

I followed someone’s suggestion to make it in a 9 x 11 pan lined with parchment and that worked well. Tasted ok, but too messy and time consuming for a mediocre result. Won’t make this again.

Very good

It was so good. I added leftover Italian sausage/onion/black olives that I made for a pizza previously and topped with a little parma cheese.

Followed ingredients, except for Parmesan (I was out). Used parchment and made one large crust. Cooked up beautifully golden brown and smelled delicious while baking. Used a homemade sauce and shredded mozzarella. Very tasty. It is quite fussy to make (not just this recipe, but all of the cauliflower crust recipes I read). Results were well received by DH.

These are Great! easy to make. Took over an hour from start to eating. I added pepperoni, salami (cut into fourths) and mushroom pieces. Kids and adults loved them.

These had quite a bit of steps to make but if you got the time it is worth a try. You could easy turn these bites into a full cauliflower crust pizza. I don’t think I squeezed enough moisture out of the cauliflower because it didn’t stick together very well nor were they very crispy like I thought they would be. On some of the bites I put BBQ sauce and cheddar for a different flavor. I like that I got my kids to eat some vegetables without too much pain.

LOVE this recipe!!! Bite size is perfect!!!

Used vegan cheese and definitely will make it again.

Very easy to prepare and it’s yummy ??

So delicious!

Did some with meat and some without. Great Taste. Gave 4/5 stars because it stuck to the muffin pan so badly I had to throw one out even though it never said to grease them.

Super easy to make. Used rice cauliflower instead to cut time down. Added a pepperoni slice in the middle. Great paired with a side salad for dinner

I made it with a little less cheese but turned out great! I will have to spray paper liners next time!!!!

This was delicious. My husband and all of my kids loved it! I used riced cauliflower. It made it much faster.

I used salsa instead of pizza sauce & put in small pieces of ham as well. It was great!

This recipe is AWESOME! Pretty easy to make and super yummy! I am definitely keeping this one in my recipe box

It was Okay,I made it in a glass rectangle dish, and potatoes with salad on the side ,added some extras to our liking, but I agree with the other reviewer -it takes forever to make ...and its just okay... the prep time takes way too long -not for weekday cooking that's for sure. Don't know if I would make it again ....I think I will keep looking for new cauliflower recipes.

Getting the moisture all out of the cauliflower was a bit time consuming but they turned out great and I added a piece of pepperoni to them for a little more flavor. Yes, I would make them again.

it is a fair amount of prep grating an entire head of cauliflower but very tasty and worth the work!

My grandkids loved them! Great way to get them to eat cauliflower!

Pretty good. Ingredients would definitely make a good crust for a pizza

I added basil and oregano to pasta sauce and used the mozarella cream cheese instead of plain mozzarella cheese. I used vita mix to grate cauliflower. It was delicious.

This sounds like a great low-carb recipe! Does anyone know if the shells can be frozen? ( We're a 2 person household.)

This recipe was delicious! However, instead of making pizza bites, I used the crust recipe to make a whole pizza. I found it challenging to fully squeeze the water from the cauliflower, so I did my best with the towel, then spread the cauliflower thinly over a large cooking pan and put it back in the oven to "dry" for another 7-8 mins before mixing with the other ingredients. Turned out great!! I will definitely use this recipe again! :)
