The simplest way to make the best veggie pizza

30.Aug.2017

My favorite place for eating pizza is Guli in Skadarlija, for those who know Belgrade. I will always recommend this place for service and of course due to its very dynamic menu.

Aside from being my favorite place, this post does not have to be a commercial for Guli, but to give you a recipe for a cauliflower veggie pizza.

6 Tbsp grated Parmesan
3 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tsp olive oil

Instruction

Cauliflower head has to be cleaned, roughly chopped and put in a food processor; pulse to 15 times until you got a rice texture.
Then transfer cauliflower to a baking sheet lined with the parchment paper and coat with baking spray. Bake at 170°C for 25 minutes, stirring once.
While cauliflower is baking you may clean mushrooms and pepper ... cut everything into pieces and pour into the frying pan for about 5 minutes.

Of course, after the first fifteen minutes of baking, check the oven, you don’t want to burn cauliflower.
