Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a food processor bowl, combine the onions, broccoli florets, and garlic powder. Process until the vegetables reach a fine consistency. Add your flax seed mixture, psyllium husk powder and remaining seasonings.
3. Line a baking sheet and arrange your crusts. Bake for 15 minutes.
4. Remove broccoli pizza crusts from oven and drizzle olive oil over them.
5. Prepare the pesto sauce by blending the ingredients in a food processor until combined. Top the crust with a liberal amount of pesto, sliced tomatoes, black olives and red onions.
6. Bake for another 10 minutes on 350 degrees. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with nutty parmesan.
7. To create your nutty parmesan cheese, pulse ingredients in a food processor. You are looking for a gritty texture that is not ground too fine.
