2. In a food processor, pulse the broccoli florets until they resemble rice-like granules.

9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before adding your favorite pizza toppings.
10. Once you have added your desired toppings, return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot. Enjoy!
