Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 35 min
Ingredients: 1 medium broccoli, roughly chopped (250 g/ 8.8 oz); 1 medium onion, roughly chopped (110 g/ 3.9 oz); 3 garlic cloves, peeled; ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp almond flour (40 g/ 1.4 oz); 3 tbsp whole psyllium husks (12 g/ 0.4 oz); 2 extra large eggs or 3 small eggs; 1 tsp salt; 3 tbsp green pesto (45 g/ 1.6 oz) - you can make your own; ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (57 g/ 2 oz); ⅓ cup crumbled feta (50 g/ 1.8 oz); ¼ cup chopped fresh basil; 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (30 ml)

Step-by-step

Preheat oven to 200 °C/ 400 °F (conventional), or 180 °C/ 355 °F (fan assisted).

Low-Carb Green Pesto Pizza (keto, primal, vegetarian)

Add broccoli, onion and garlic to food processor and pulse until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add remaining ingredients and pulse to combine, scraping down the sides if needed.

Place a layer of parchment paper over the dough and use a rolling pin to roll it into a flat circle, roughly 1-1 ¹/₂ cm (¹/₂ inch) thick.

Bake 12-15 minutes, until it’s firm to touch and just starting to brown. Remove from the oven, and spread the pesto over the base, then top with the cheeses.

Bake 8–10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the edges have browned. Serve topped with extra basil and drizzled with olive oil.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to five days, and reheat in the oven.

Looks like an amazing pizza, but I'm confused over serving sizes as there are several different listed. Please let me know, does this make it one pizza divided into 4?

  Thank you Terri, I can see how listing both snack size and main dish size could have caused confusion so I simplified it - I hope this helps!

I did everything the same, only I microwaved the ground up broccoli for about 2 mins and then strained it with a cheese cloth to remove the water. You'd be shocked at HOW much water comes out. But awesome recipe! And it looks beautiful too 😊

We loved this. I added a few mushrooms that I needed to get rid of. Even my skeptical huaband approved.

Is the carb count NET carbs??
(it's very helpful to indicate whether the carb count is total carbs or net carbs)
Thank you

  I'm not sure I understand your question? We list both "total carbs" and "net carbs" in the table.

Made this last night. Made a 14” crust. Used pesto, chicken, mozzarella. Delicious! Only issue was had to prebake crust 30 minutes and could have baked longer to get it more dried out. Will make again!
