How to Prepare Kale Pesto Pizza [Vegan]

To Make the Pizza:

Preheat oven to 390°F.
Cut the cauliflower lengthwise into thumb thick slices and transfer them to a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Season the cauliflower slices with salt and pepper, and drizzle them with a dash of olive oil, if you like. Bake for 15 minutes.
