FAMILY RECIPE: Cauliflower Crust Pizza

By FC

A few years ago, there was this trend about using cauliflower as pizza crust that everyone thought was nice. However, the recipes on the Internet were all the same and even though I liked it when I tried it, I got tired of the taste quite quickly, making it difficult for me to finish a slice. So, I decided to make something that suits my African taste – not too European or African; something that my family and I would absolutely enjoy. I subsequently came up with this recipe.

The fun thing about making this pizza is that you can garnish with just about anything. We make it every second week of the month, and even my toddler is allowed to garnish his own pizza. It has been a family favourite for 3 years now because it’s tasty, healthy and most importantly, not packed with too many calories. I’m sure your family will love it too.
