This was my first time experimenting with cauliflower crust pizza and I'm already a huge fan. I actually found the crust pre-made at Trader Joe's, but I also know Cali'flour Foods makes a good one. I love sage and pesto so I decided to use sage as the base for my pesto and the flavors work so well with the squash. I also think you could easily top this pizza with prosciutto for little added protein. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 cauliflower pizza crust
- 2/3 cup sage leaves, torn
- 2 tbsp. pine puts
- 2 tsp. nutritional yeast or finely grated parmesan
