Cauliflower Pizza with “Tomato” Sauce

Sometimes it can be difficult to find foods that fit our dietary and nutritional needs which is why I have created this gluten and acidic free pizza. Inspired recently by a fellow follower, who is unable to eat tomatoes and has certain dietary restrictions, I came up with this well suitable option. The next family dinner night you have, I invite you to try making this healthy alternative that will leave your belly full. Adding any toppings of your choice is always alright so feel free to get creative!Cauliflower Pizza

Yields 1 large pizza

Ingredients 

1 head cauliflower (about 4 to 5 cups), riced

2 Tbsp. Bobs Red Mill Egg Replacer + 4 Tbsp. filtered water

1/4 cup vegan Parmesan, (optional)

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. oregano

1/2 tsp. fresh basil, minced (optional)

1/4 tsp. Vitacost Himalayan Fine Pink Salt

1/8 tsp. Spicely Organics Ground Black Pepper

1 tsp. Vitacost olive oil

Directions 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 
  2. Using a box grater, grate your cauliflower to make the rice and set it aside. 
  3. In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil and pour in cauliflower rice. Allow to cook for 5-6 minutes or until tender. Drain using a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth. Squeeze any remaining liquid out- very important step. 
  4. In a small bowl, combine your egg replacer and water. Set aside
  5. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower rice, egg replacer, oregano, salt, pepper, basil, garlic, flour, and vegan Parmesan. Mix until dough l-like consistency forms. 
  6. On a lined baking sheet with parchment paper, sprinkle with flour or corn meal to help keep it from sticking. Spread out the dough 1/2 in thick so it has a nice crust to it. 
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and add your sauce of choice, vegetables, protein, cheese, or any topping you’d like. Return to the oven for an additional 7-8 minutes just to brown the toppings or cheese. 
  9. Slice and enjoy with parsley or red pepper flakes on top. 

Chef’s tip: Make sure to lightly spray or oil the parchment paper so it does not stick to the crust. Also, I pre roasted a few slices of sliced onion, mushroom, and bell peppers to place on top of the pizza before baking it again.
