Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil.
- Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and wash thoroughly.
- Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground and resemble rice.
- Transfer the ground cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the ground cauliflower on high for 8-10 minutes or until it becomes soft.
- Allow it to cool slightly.
- Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible from the cooled cauliflower.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, drain the tofu well.
- Pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Crumble the tofu into a small bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower, crumbled tofu, garlic powder, coconut oil, pepper sauce, and flaxseed.
- Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Take small portions of the cauliflower mixture and form them into bite-sized balls or small patties.
- Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bites are golden brown on the outside, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bites cool slightly.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are.
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is thoroughly dried after washing to prevent soggy pizza bites.
- Use a food processor to finely chop the cauliflower, making it easier to form the pizza bites.
- You can substitute pepper sauce with your favorite hot sauce if you prefer a spicier flavor.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the mix for additional flavor.
- If the mixture feels too wet, you can add a bit of almond flour or extra flaxseed to help bind it together.
