Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, riced
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water (flax egg)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (vegan)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, red onion, corn)
  • 1/2 cup vegan cheese (shredded)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Rice the cauliflower using a food processor or box grater. Microwave the riced cauliflower for about 5 minutes, then allow it to cool slightly.
  3. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and flax egg. Mix well until a dough forms.
  4. Shape the Crust: Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and firm.
  5. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and spread BBQ sauce over the top. Layer with mixed vegetables and sprinkle vegan cheese on top.
  6. Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, slice, and enjoy your Vegan BBQ Cauliflower Pizza hot!
