Pizza made with Cauliflower Crust

(Recipe from ifoodreal.com.


1 head Cauliflower (8" wide)

1 egg large (room temperature)

1/2 parmesan cheese (grated/shredded & not packed)

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. salt

Preheat oven 375 and line baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper or silicone mat.

s and chop into smaller pieces. Process in food processor in 2 batches until "rice" texture forms. Microwave for 6 mins. Cool completely. Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a bowl lined with triple cheesecloth or linen towel. Squeeze the liquid out of cauliflower. Get as much liquid out as possible. It will be easier to flip if the cauliflower is not so wet.

Increase the temperature to 450 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl whisk the egg with dried herbs, salt and pepper for 10 second. Add cheese and squeezed cauliflower, mix very well.

Transfer cauliflower pizza dough in the middle of the pan, and flatten with your hands.

Bakek 20 mins, carefully flip wilth two spatulas or place another sheet of parchment paper and flip onto another pan.(whichever is easier for you.) I let min cool down a few minutes so I can easily handle the crust. Bake again a few minutes,,

Top base with your favorite toppings and bake again until cheese on top melts.

It can be used on top of pasta, noodles, added to sandwiches or wraps, or used as a dip or marinade! This recipe is super clean, fat-free and a total taste sensation.

Bell peppers are the base of this recipe and contain an impressive amount of vitamin C with up to as much as six times as oranges.

They are also an excellent source of potassium, fiber, thiamine, beta carotene, folate, zeaxanthin, and lycopene and have been shown to help prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Sun-dried tomatoes, which gives this recipe its rich, savory flavor are are packed with vitamins C, K, A, and B-complex, as well as potassium, chromium, biotin, and beta carotene. This amazing array of nutrition makes sun-dried tomatoes excellent for helping to nourish the adrenal glands, reduce stress damage, build the immune system, protect against skin damage, and improve cardiovascular health.

Sticky Sesame Cauliflower


Ingredients:

For the cauliflower:

1 medium-sized head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

1 1/3 cup cassava flour

1 1/2 cups water, more if needed

1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)


For the sauce:

1/2 cup coconut aminos

2 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp sesame oil

2 tbsp lime juice

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tbsp tomato paste

3 garlic cloves, finely grated

1 tbsp grated ginger

2 tbsp arrowroot flour

1/2 cup water or vegetable broth, more if needed

2 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish

2 tbsp chopped green onions, for garnish


Directions:

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.


In a large bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, water and sea salt (if using). The batter should be thick enough to coat the cauliflower. If it's too thick, add a few tablespoons of water.


Add the cauliflower to the bowl and toss until well coated. Using a fork, transfer the bat-tered cauliflower to the baking sheet, shaking off the excess batter. Leave at least 1 inch between each piece.


Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until crisp. Flip the cauliflower pieces over halfway through.


To make the sauce, add the coconut aminos, maple syrup, sesame oil, lime juice, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, garlic and ginger to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk to combine and bring to a simmer.


In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot flour and water/vegetable broth. Pour into the sauce and cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens up and becomes sticky, about 3-5 minutes. If the sauce is very thick then add a bit more water.


Add the baked cauliflower and toss to coat. Remove from heat and place on a serving plate or platter, then top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.


Serves 3-4

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a pot on the stove, place the amaranth and vegetables stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer, uncovered, until the water is absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, place white beans in a large bowl and smash with a potato masher or fork until mostly broken down (a few whole beans left is fine).
  • Add all remaining ingredients to the white beans, including the amaranth once it's cooked and cooled enough to handle. Mix well.
  • Form into patties (I like them on the smaller side - about 3 inches in diameter and less than 1/2 inch thick) and place onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake 20 minutes, flip the patties over and bake another 10 minutes until crispy on both sides.
  • Serve with salsa and vegan sour cream, if using.

Recipe Notes

~You can dice the onion small instead of shredding if you wish. For convenience, I stuck it in the food processor (fitted with the shredding blade) at the same time I shredded the zucchini. Easy!
