Ingredients

• Broccoli - 200 grams, finely chopped
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Mozzarella cheese - 150 grams, shredded

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped broccoli, almond flour, half of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a round crust about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.

6. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then return the pizza to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
