Steps
Step 1: Make Creamy Garlic Sauce
Soak cashews overnight or in hot water for at least 20 minutes. Strain and rinse the cashews. Then heat oil and garlic in a small saucepan over low. Cook until garlic begins to brown, stirring consistently to prevent sticking.
Add the soaked cashews, oil and garlic mixture, along with the salt and fresh water to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Step 2: Make Almond Flour Flatbread
First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Next mix almond flour, arrowroot, baking powder and Himalayan salt in a large mixing bowl. Then pour in the water, stirring until a thick batter forms. Next, Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Roast Buffalo Chickpeas
In a bowl, combine chickpeas, oil, salt and spices. Mix well, making sure the chickpeas are evenly coated. Then spread the chickpeas evenly onto the baking sheet and bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
Step 4: Roast Buffalo Cauliflower
In a bowl, combine cauliflower florets, oil, salt and spices. Mix well, making sure the cauliflower florets are evenly coated. Then spread the cauliflower evenly onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 - 15 minutes.
Step 5: Assemble Pizza
Coat the flatbread crust with a generous amount of garlic cream sauce (I usually use about half of what the recipe makes and save the other half for dipping!). Then add the rest of the toppings, adding as much as you like (or as much that fits). Place in the oven, preheated to 350°F and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges of the crust begin to brown.
Substitutions and Add-Ons
Other Vegetables can be used or added. Broccoli can be substituted for cauliflower and other collard greens can be substituted for the kale.
Barbequed Chicken is a delicious addition or substitute for the chickpeas.
Your favourite Flatbread or Pizza Crust can be used in place of the Almond Flour Flatbread.
