Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (see note below), set aside.
Prepare broccoli crust: Add oats to a food processor and blend until it looks like flour. Then add broccoli florets and blend until it has a rice-like texture. Add eggs and salt and blend until combined. It should be loose and sticky.
Form crust: Transfer the crust mixture to the lined baking sheet and flatten out the dough with your hands. Make the edges a little higher to make a crust.I usually form it into a rectangle on a half-size baking sheet, but you can use a pizza pan and form it into two smaller circles if you prefer.
Bake the crust for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Prepare toppings: While the crust is pre-baking, prepare your toppings.
Add toppings and bake: After pre-baking, carefully remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite toppings and bake again until the cheese melts and crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly and enjoy!

Add them as a topping to your pizza, shred them for a slaw, chop and roast them for a quick veggie side dish, add them to eggs or your favorite Buddha Bowl, or use them to make a broccoli soup.PREP AHEAD: Though this crust is best served immediately, you can prepare this vegetable pizza crust in advance and reheat it in the oven.

Reheat in the oven for maximum crispiness.NUTRITION NOTES: This broccoli pizza crust is loaded with fiber and vitamin C. It’s also vegetarian and gluten-free. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This veggie pizza crust is the perfect base for our green pizza, but feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings.PARCHMENT PAPER: Though I usually recommend using silicone baking mats instead of parchment paper, after trying both, I found the crust was crispier and didn’t stick with the parchment paper. Opt for an eco-friendly parchment paper(affiliate) if possible.*For gluten-free, make sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
