This delicious and crispy Cauliflower Crust Pizza has a delightful Italian flavor. Made with pizza sauce, baby artichokes and roasted red pepper by Flora Fine Foods, and topped with a cheesy layer of mozzarella, aromatic Dominican oregano, and fresh watercress and cilantro leaves, all dressed in a lemony vinaigrette for a fresh, herby taste. Add a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper for a final touch.

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 10-inch frozen cauliflower pizza crusts (6 to 8 ounces each)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, and preheat to 425 degrees F.
