Veg on Veg Pizza
We know that some of our readers try to reduce the amount of carbohydrate heavy foods they eat. Well, if that's you, we couldn't have you going without pizza! This pizza is less greasy and carb heavy than most pizzas, and that's because the base is made with cauliflower. Topping this base with caramelised onions is just divine. This recipe will make one pizza, but if you prefer a very thin base you can simply divide the mixture to make two.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "There's nothing better than homemade pizzas made with your own toppings. We especially loved the added flavour of the caramelised onions. My kids and husband didn't even realise that the base was made out of cauliflower!" - Sharree
