• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Once steamed, allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
5. Spread the cauliflower mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping it into a pizza crust about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden and firm.
7. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top.
8. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, crumbled feta cheese, and cooked chickpeas over the sauce.
9. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Remove from the oven, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and lemon juice before slicing and serving.
