Pizza night just took an interesting turn! This pizza’s “crust” is formed with beef and coconut flour and flavored with oregano and garlic
Ingredients
Sauce
(8-ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
tablespoons (2) olive oil
tablespoon (1) chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon (1) chopped fresh basil
teaspoon (1) salt
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
Pizza
1 pound ground beef
3 tablespoons coconut flour
teaspoon (1) dried oregano
½ teaspoon garlic powder
teaspoon (1/2) salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 Roma tomato, sliced
4-ounce package goat cheese, sliced
6-ounce can sliced black olives, drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Instructions
Sauce
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, garlic, oil, cilantro, basil, salt, and cumin. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, for 5 to 7 minutes.
Pizza
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the beef, coconut flour, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well with your hands.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Carefully press the beef mixture into the bottom of the skillet to create a ½-inch-thick “crust.” Cook until golden brown on the bottom, for about 3 minutes.
Using a large spatula, carefully flip the crust, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Top the crust with the sauce, tomato, cheese, olives, and basil.
Transfer the pan to the oven, and bake until the cheese has melted and the toppings are warm, for 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Notes
Substitution tip: Instead of ground beef, you can use ground turkey or ground chicken for the “crust.”
