To celebrate National Pizza Day, without the guilt, try this cauliflower flatbread recipe!
This recipe is dairy free, gluten free, keto friendly, vegan, and packed with flavour.
To save some time I used riced cauliflower rather than purchasing a head of cauliflower and having to process it myself. The riced cauliflower typically comes frozen so cook the cauliflower before adding it to the dry ingredients. This will also remove some of the moister from the cauliflower and help make the flatbread crispy.
For toppings I used what I happened to have in the fridge this morning (arugula, cherry tomatoes, onion, and a bell pepper). Next time I make this recipe I would like to add some barbecued chicken for a protein but the veggies on this pizza add such wonderful pops of colour! I always tell clients to "eat the rainbow" to ensure they are getting a wide range of nutritions in their diets.
