Love pizza but have to watch your calories? Here's the solution for you!

Carrot Crust Pizza

Ingredients:

Crust: 

3 medium carrots 

1 clove garlic, 

minced 1/4 cup mozza cheese, 

shredded 1 egg Toppings 

2 Tbsp pizza sauce 

2 Tbsp onion, finely chopped

 2 slices bacon, cooked & diced 

2 Tbsp green pepper, diced 

2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, shredded 

 

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 400. 

Line a pizza pan with parchment paper. 

Set aside. In a food processor, blend carrots until very finely chopped. 

Take the processed carrot and, using a cheesecloth or clean piece of material (like an old shirt or tea towel), strain as much water (carrot juice) out of the carrots as you can. 

Place the strained carrots into a bowl - you should have about 1 cup of carrot. Stir in garlic, Mozza cheese, and egg until well blended. 

Using a spatula, spread out carrot mixture onto prepared cookie sheet to about an 8 inch circle. 

Bake at 400 for 10 - 12 minutes, until just starting to brown around the outside and top appears dry. 

Top as desired. Place back in the oven for another 5 minutes. 

Turn oven to broil and broil for an addition 1 or 2 minutes to brown/crisp things up - keep an eye on it that it doesn't get too brown. 

Remove from oven and let sit for a minute or two. Use the parchment paper to slide off pizza tray. 

Cut and serve.
