Healthy & Delicious Cauliflower Pizza [VEGAN RECIPE] #VeganPizzaParty ๐
Hey lovely Steemians!
I hope everybody is having a great day!
We took a day off yesterday and went hiking with our friends from @travel.curry ๐ณ We arrived home super late, so I didn't manage to put up a post! I'm so sorry for that! But I'm still doing my little Steemit "challenge" and I want to inspire you every day ๐
Today I'm super excited, because my friends from @deliciousplants are hosting their second contest: The #VeganPizzaParty ๐
And this is my entry:
A super healthy and delicious VEGAN & GLUTEN FREE Cauliflower Pizza ๐

For the base:
- 1 head of cauliflower (only florets)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 pinch of salt, ground paprika and other spices and herbs of choice
- some chickpea flour to make the dough stick better
For the tomato sauce:

- In a bowl, mix the cauliflower "snow" together with the other ingredients and form a dough with your hands.
- Place the dough on a baking tray with parchment paper and form 0,5 cm thick round base.
- Bake for around 30 minutes at 150-180 degrees.

Looks like a great recipe so much lighter than a flour based crust
Thank you so much, I'm happy you like it :) Yeah it's nothing like a flour based pizza crust :D
You've become a gateway to vegetarians! Follow !

love your recipe! need to try it!
Thank you so much Waldemar! That would be great :) Don't forget to take a picture so I can see your wonderful creation โฅ
Never seen dates in a pizza sauce, but I'll give it a go. Are we talking medjool ones, because that's one sweet sauce you've got there.
The sauce is like a tomato-ketchup, and the original ketchup contains a lot of sugar. So I'm substituting the industrial sugar with dates :) I didn't use medjool dates, but the smaller ones - don't know the name. But I googled and they look similar to "Khudri" :)
looks really good ! thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! It means a lot to me coming from an amazing food artist like you :)
OMG, It looks so delicious! I also made few days ago pizza from cauliflower and soon I'll upload my first video with my recipe for that! :) Have a beautiful day ๐
Thank you :)
Looks like a great option! I'm not sure if I'll jump in with a recipe on this one, but I will definitely support the participants. :) I love being able to keep pizza in a vegan lifestyle. It's great to see a cauliflower crust that doesn't include eggs, too!
Yeah thanks so much for your support, I appreciate it โฅ
Thank you for your entry into the #veganpizzaparty! I always love trying out new pizza bases and a cauliflower one sounds awesome ๐ฑ
Thank YOU for hosting this amazing contest and for giving creators like me the opportunity to share some vegan inspiration here on the platform โฅ
Congrats sweetie, you are the winner for this week's contest: https://steemit.com/vegan/@deliciousplants/congratulations-to-the-winners-of-the-veganpizzaparty
Woooow! Thank you, thank you, thank you โฅ I feel so honoured!!!
Love your account, lady! i'll be following you for more updates!
Thank you so much for your support โฅ Following you back :)
I love this reipe!! Thank you so much for sharing, bexause cauliflower used to be my favourite ingredient for pizza crust before I went vegan, but I always needed to add egges and cheese to hold it together. Since I became vegan, I make it only out of chickpea flour, which I love, and this recipe combines my two favourite ingredients, chickpea flour and cauliflower!! That's awesome :D Thanks again!! I'll definitely make it :)
Thank you for your kind words ๐ I'm happy you like my recipe. I admit, that the crust is not as stable as a normal wheat flour crust, but even if it falls apart, it tastes super yummy :D
