Tara’s Tips For Perfect Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Pizza
- Crust
- Make your own or use your favorite store-bought crust. Eggless Cauliflower Pizza Crust works and so does Whole Wheat Pizza. If you use a homemade curst, par-bake the crust in the oven until slightly golden brown before you put the toppings on so your crust does not get soggy.
- Buffalo Cauliflower
- I included steps for baking your buffalo cauliflower florets but if you prefer to air fry, follow my instructions here.
- Ranch
- Do not skip the ranch! You could use your favorite store-bought but why would you? Silken Tofu Vegan Ranch (nut-free!) works fabulously on this pizza and so does this recipe for Easy Vegan Ranch.
- Toppings
- Options include avocado, sliced green onion, crushed red pepper, more ranch, more hot sauce.
- Spice Level
- More hot sauce = more spice. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your liking/spice tolerance.
