Baked Cauliflower Pizza Bites

These Baked Cauliflower Pizza Bites make a great healthy snack, appetizer, or delicious side dish. They’re inspired by pizza, but are vegan and gluten-free, making them quick and easy to prepare.

I’m not sure about you, but it seems like it’s been a really long week for some reason. Although I’m eager to get to the weekend, I’m currently behind on work, so I’ll be using my time to cook, photograph, and eat. I guess there are worse ways to spend it 🙂

Baked Cauliflower Pizza Bites Recipe Ingredients

• Cauliflower – I cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
• Olive oil
• Nutritional yeast – I pizza-ed the cauliflower up with some delicious seasonings and made “cheesy” with nutritional yeast. 
• Spices – I made these with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and salt.
• Optional – Warm marinara sauce for dipping really completes the pizza inspiration here, and chopped parsley is a great garnish, if desired.

How To Make These Cauliflower Pizza Bites

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil and all the spices, then spread it evenly on a baking sheet.
2. Bake cauliflower until tender and starting to caramelize, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce.

Recipe Tips and Thoughts

• These Baked Cauliflower Pizza Bites are vegan and gluten-free.
• They’re an updated version of an older recipe. I went to make it the other day and realized it needed much more seasoning than the original recipe. I think that means either my taste buds have improved in the past few years or deteriorated significantly, haha!
• These bites are great for a healthy afternoon snack or a healthy side dish next time you have pizza night! 
• They’re also pretty addictive, so be careful 😉
