Ingredients
  

  • 1 cauliflower
  • 1 raw banana, boiled and grated
  • 2-3 tbsp of any gluten-free flour, amaranth/jowar

Instructions
 

  • Chop and add cauliflower in a food processor or blender. Crush everything well.
  • Steam it for 10 minutes.
  • Remove excess water by squeezing it out.
  • Add flax seed eggs, salt, and gluten-free flour. Mix and bind everything well.
  • Grease a baking tray with a few drops of oil and flour.
  • Spread the dough and flatten it well with your hands.
  • Bake it in a preheated oven at 350° C for 15-20 minutes on one side.
  • Flip the base and bake again for 10 mins till the crust is dry and crispy.

  • Add chopped veggies and cashew cheese.
  • Garnish with a few more veggies of your choice.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 180° C or lightly roast on a tawa until crispy.

Power tips and variations

  • If cauliflower is unavailable, you can also alternate it with sweet potato, potato, beetroot, or broccoli.
  • For the sauce, if you are allergic to tomatoes, avoid them. You can alternate it with roasted bell pepper or beetroot for delicious flavors and rich natural colors.
  • The best way to swap the cashews for the cashew cheese is to use sunflower seeds.

Notes

  • Cauliflower pizza crust contains protein and fiber and boasts of antioxidants - especially glucosinolates and isothiocyanates which are documented to slow the growth of cancer cells and are considered protective against colon, lung, breast, and prostate cancer. 
  • Apart from being an excellent source of lycopene and vitamins A, C, and K, tomatoes are also rich in potassium, a key nutrient for the smooth functioning of your heart, muscle contractions, and maintaining healthy blood pressure.
  • Cashew cheese is rich in essential fatty acids, B vitamins, magnesium, potassium, calcium, Vitamin E, phenolic compounds, and oleic acid, which are necessary for heart health and make your blood vessels strong.
