Attention, vegetarian: you will LOVE this Indian cauliflower pizza. Trust us!
Here is a truth about me: I will put just about anything on a pizza crust.
Seriously, can you go wrong with pizza? I don’t think so. Okay, maybe I went a little wrong the time I tried to make a pizza out of leftover mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese (let us never speak of this again!), but on the whole, you can put all sorts of crazy things on a pizza and it’s usually pretty good.
When you don’t eat meat, your options for convenience foods are already a little bit limited, so creative vegetarian pizza recipes are always a favorite in our household.
Enter: Indian Pizza.
Instead of a traditional tomato sauce, I use a jarred curry sauce. I’ve topped my Indian pizzas with everything from chickpeas to eggplant, but I’m partial to roasted cauliflower, so that’s what I’ve used here. Typically I use a prepared pizza crust to make an easy meal even easier, although this time I used whole wheat dough that I made in advance.
And if you’re vegan, omit the cheese – it’s still delicious.
