Baked Cauliflower Fake Pizza

Baked Cauliflower Fake Pizza with yellow cherry tomato sauce, very tasty and simple to make.

I have one piece of advice for you to make this recipe, which is to drain the cauliflower very well, trying to remove as much excess water as possible.

For this operation, you can also use a sturdy sieve to place in a large bowl, to press the cauliflower.

And of course, you can easily replace the yellow cherry tomato puree with the traditional red one.

Below, I leave you with the most-read recipes on the blog with cauliflower.
