2 tsp pizza seasoning (Italian seasoning could be subbed)
Could also be shakes of crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup Red Pepper Basil Hummus (recipe below)*
1/3 cup onion, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup shredded almond cheese
2 green onions, chopped
Red Pepper Basil Hummus*
2 cups cooked garbanzo beans (or 1 oz. can of garbanzos, rinsed well and drained)
4 oz. jar of roasted red peppers, drained
⅓ chopped basil
Juice from one lemon (about 2 1/2 to 3 Tbsp.)
2-3 Tbsp. tahini paste
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Cholula hot sauce to taste (I used about 1 1/2 tsp)
Sea salt to taste
What do I do with the Red Pepper Hummus ingredients?
In a food processor, puree all of the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Either serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Will keep about 4 days.
How do I cook it?
Chop the cauliflower into medium pieces. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 Tbsp. oil and heat until shiny. Place the cauliflower and garlic in the hot oil, stir to cover with oil, and place a lid on the skillet. Check skillet every few minutes to keep cauliflower from burning, but let it get a nice browned roasted outside. Continue to let cauliflower cook, covered, for about 10-15 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Let cool for a few minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450. In a blender or large food processor, place eggs, flour, pepper and seasoning. Place cauliflower in blender and puree until you have a thick batter. Cover a pizza pan with parchment paper and pour batter into the center of the paper. Spread until you have about a 1/2 inch thick crust or thinner if desired.
Bake the crust for about 20-24 minutes, checking occasionally to keep from burning. I recommend letting it brown a little bit more than a normal crust so it will cook through completely.
When the crust is cooked through and golden brown, remove and spread with hummus. Sprinkle with sautéed veggies and the shredded cheese and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with green onions, slice, and serve!
