Roasted Cauliflower and Pine Nuts Pizza
Roasted Cauliflower is sweet and savory where pine nuts is rich, and a shared earthy streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Golden roasted cauliflower florets bring a nutty sweetness and satisfying texture to vegetable-forward pizzas. Delicate, buttery pine nuts add a subtle, creamy nuttiness and golden-toasted crunch. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
