Roasted Cauliflower Pizza Recipe

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but my husband and I try to eat at least a couple of vegetarian dinners each week. One of the easiest and best ways I’ve found to make this happen is with PIZZA.

Also, any veggie pizza is automatically 500% less greasy than a pie with pepperoni on it, so you won’t be doing the old blot-this-awkwardly-with-a-napkin-before-I-eat-it trick.

This roasted cauliflower and garlic pizza isn’t exactly a 10-minute pizza recipe, but it’s also not very hard at all. In fact, there are basically just three steps:

3.) assemble and bake your pizza (on a pizza stone if you’ve been lucky enough to have a friend buy you one for Christmas!)

 My relationship with cauliflower is simple: I don’t spend any time thinking about it, and it returns the favor. I’ve never understood why RAW cauliflower is offered on veggie trays, and I’ve always steered clear.

I decided to try working it into my diet a little more. Just like with broccoli and asparagus and sweet dumpling squash soup, I knew it would be good roasted. You want to get it nice and brown, so roast it for about 50 minutes.

You can put your head of garlic, wrapped in foil, on the same pan. That will take just 10 minutes longer than the cauliflower does.

Now, I made a big mistake here. I only roasted one head of garlic (the amount needed for this pizza). That means I had to resist the urge to slather it on bread and eat it before it got the chance to fufill it’s pizza destiny.

Take it from me, always roast 2 heads (or even 3, if you’re making roasted garlic dip). One for whatever recipe you’re making, and one for general snacking purposes (or to make a second pizza using roasted garlic, like my recipe for chicken pizza).

Once you’ve had a quick cook’s snack, mash your second head of garlic into some cream cheese (cream cheese is also the secret ingredient in my slow cooker beef stroganoff and chicken stroganoff). That will function as the “sauce” for this pie. Throw on the roasted cauliflower, chives, and shredded Parmesan.

Because I still wanted a bit of tomato flavor even without the traditional sauce, I also sliced up some Roma tomatoes and put those on there, too.

Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Bbq Pizza

I’ve played around a lot with homemade pizza over the years -- making this dough and that dough, trying thin crust pizzas on a baking stones and the backs of baking sheets, baking pizzas for one and pizzas for four.

I love how easy it is. Making pizza in a sheet pan is a simple matter of stretching the dough onto the pan and topping it with cheese, sauce, and other ingredients. Bake and serve.

I like to make my own no-knead whole wheat pizza dough – it takes almost no time to mix and rises slowly over about 12 hours. Start it in the morning and it will be ready when you get home in the evening. It will also keep in the fridge for up to three days, so it's ready when you are.

For today's recipe, you'll need to roast some cauliflower, but that, too, can be made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator for a few days. You can still dash home on a Friday night and have dinner ready in 30 minutes.

I like to slice the cauliflower into “steaks” rather than break it into florets, and roast them that way. It’s faster, and though some of the pieces fall apart, it doesn’t matter since you'll be breaking them into smaller pieces before topping the pizza anyway. The edges caramelize and the smaller pieces brown beautifully. Who doesn’t love crispy bits?

Once you have the dough and cauliflower in hand, just stretch the dough into the pan and top with the roasted cauliflower, Parmesan, and fresh mozzarella, which you tear into pieces with your hands.

I initially meant to put capers on this pizza, but mistakenly reached for a jar of green peppercorns in brine. They are vinegary and mildly hot and they add a lot of zest – they worked great! You could opt for capers for that same zing, if you prefer, or leave them out altogether if you’re feeding picky eaters.

The earthy whole wheat crust, the roasted cauliflower, the hint of heat from peppercorns and the topping with perky greens – all together, these create a unique pizza that you'll probably never find at your local pizza joint!

To take to a party, cut the pizza ahead of time when it is cool and transport it on the baking sheet. Reheat it in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes. Transport the greens separately in a plastic bag and dress them when you get there.
