Craving pizza? Make these Cauliflower Pizza Steaks! Super easy to make, easily customizable and they satisfy your pizza cravings! GF with vegan, paleo and Whole30 options!
Pizza takes a big pizza my heart every time I consume it. Ha, corny I know. But y’all tell me who on this earth doesn’t like pizza? I don’t like cheese (like I actually despise it) but I’ll eat it on pizza. Pizza is just one of the foods that you can’t go wrong with, hence why it’s at like every party you go to.
My friends, have you ever tried or made cauliflower pizza? I mean the one with the cauliflower crust that requires tons of time and effort to make. I’ve made it before, it’s pretty good but requires way too much effort when your pizza cravings hit you like a wrecking ball. You could always order takeout but when you’re in the whole food mindset, there is another easier route.
Insert these cauliflower pizza steaks. Remember those cauliflower steaks you saw popping up all over pinterest last year? Yup, they’re making a delicious pizza-fied comeback.
Cauliflower
Tomato sauce
Cheese or nutritional yeast
Pepperoni
Oregano
Whatever else your <3 desires
So yeah, these cauliflower pizzas are such an easy and delicious springy/summer-time addition to your lunch or dinner! Any yes, even though they aren’t real pizza, they taste pretty darn close to it! The best part is that you can make it regardless of your dietary needs!
Are you vegan? Replace cheese with a non-dairy alternative and sub in your favorite meatless pepperoni! Paleo? Replace cheese with non-dairy alternative such as nutritional yeast! Are you on the whole30? Just sub cheese for nutritional yeast, either make or buy a complaint pasta sauce and buy a complaint pepperoni! It’s as easy as pie.
