- Pulse cauliflower florets in food processor until very fine texture. Transfer cauliflower to large microwave safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, until cauliflower is cooked through. Transfer cauliflower onto a clean tea towel and spread out to cool slightly. Once cooled enough to handle, wrap the cauliflower in the towel and squeeze out excess water. Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl. Add remaining crust ingredients and mix well. Form mixture into a ball. Place ball on parchment paper lined baking sheet and pat into a circular crust, about ¼ inch thick, about 10 inches in diameter.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. (220°C) Bake crust for about 8 to 10 minutes or until bottom is nicely browned and the crust is firm to the touch. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, pour canola oil into a large non stick skillet and place over medium heat. Saute vegetables for 10-15 minutes or until softened.
- Spread cauliflower crust with pizza sauce. Distribute cooked vegetables over top and sprinkle with mozzarella and goat cheese.
- Bake for an additional 7-8 minutes, until cheese is melted.
