Ingrédients

1 large head of cauliflower

1/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

3 tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup cashews, soaked and drained

1/4 cup water (for the cheese)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (for the cheese)

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
Place the 'rice' in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, until soft.
Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower.
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower, almond flour, nutritional yeast, ground flaxseed mixed with water, garlic powder, oregano, and sea salt. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin, even circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
While the crust is baking, prepare the vegan cheese by blending the soaked cashews, water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and onion powder until smooth and creamy.
Once the crust is done, spread a layer of the cashew cheese over it.
Top with your favorite vegan pizza toppings and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Slice and serve warm.
