Picante Cauliflower Pizza

Introduction

We have created this veg-loaded pizza for One Planet Plate, building on our traditional Italian-style pizzas, and featuring a plant-inspired topping which is as good for the environment as it is for your health! Cauliflower is a superbly flexible vegetable that is high in fibre, packed with nutrients and has deservedly become one of the most popular veggies out there. We recommend you go one step further and pick up an organic cauliflower from a local farm for a pizza slice that packs a truly sustainable punch!
