How to Prepare Cauliflower and Pumpkin Seed Crust Pizza [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Set aside a baking sheet, and preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Stir the ground chia seeds and water together in the bottom of a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
- Pulse pumpkin seeds into a coarse flour and add to the chia mixture.
- Add all remaining ingredients except the cauliflower.
- Pulse the cauliflower using the food processor fitted with an S-blade into small, rice-like pieces (do not pulse too finely as you don't want your cauliflower to be mushy).
- Add the cauliflower to the pumpkin seed mixture, and fold the mixture together with a spoon so that it's well-combined.
- With wet hands, shape the cauliflower dough into a large oval, about a 1/2-inch thick. Smooth with wet hands. Brush with 1 teaspoon of grapeseed oil.
- Place it in the oven, and bake it for 15-20 minutes.
- Add toppings of your choice, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
