Carrot Crust Pizza |Vegetable and Gluten- Free Pizza

Do you suffer from dieter’s remorse 😕every time you eat a piece of pizza🍕🍕?

You can eliminate those feelings of guilt by ditching flour-based crusts and using a vegetable base instead.

It's not only healthier but quicker to make. The Internet is full of vegetable based crust ranging from most popular cauliflower pizza crust to a delicious-tasting zuchinni base pizza crust. I have tried the version using flax egg but that is not something I enjoyed or would try again.

The pizza crust requires a lot of work as it starts from grating to squeezing but the ultimate result is worth it. Let's face it carrot cannot replace or taste like bread but for a healthier option you have to give up something. The pizza can be topped with basically anything and that's left to your choice but just a note don't overload it especially with any watery sauce or too much of veggies.

Keep it simple with pizza sauce, cheese and some veggies or non-veg.

Its a beautiful dish that is worth the effort.

So, enjoy this carrot crust pizza recipe 🍕🥕
