Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams, cut into florets
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
4. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss it with buffalo sauce until well coated.

6. Spread a thin layer of buffalo sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Top the pizza with roasted buffalo cauliflower, shredded vegan mozzarella, and sliced red onion.
