Who is in need of a simple weeknight meal that is homemade, comes together in about 30 minutes, gets your kids to eat some veggies, is incredibly delicious, and meatless Monday approved?!? Oh, you too?! Well, hey then, let me introduce you to this mouth wateringly scrumptious BBQ Cauliflower pizza! With just 5 ingredients, it can’t really get much easier!

One of our favorite family meals has always been BBQ chicken pizza. It’s just really easy to make homemade, and so tasty! But one day I was trying to figure out how to up the veggie intake of my offspring (okay who are we kidding, I need to eat more veggies too) and I wondered how cauliflower would taste as a sub for the chicken. So I tried it. And all I can say is: holy wow. My taste buds were doing a happy dance. (not literally, because that would be concerning)

But seriously, cauliflower has such a meaty texture, which makes it a perfect sub for chicken in this instance. And it’s so good for you too! Just think of all those extra vitamins and minerals you and your kiddos will be getting! You can also cook a true veggie pizza, but with this recipe, the kids won’t even realize they’re eating cauliflower – it’s that good!

What I love about this “recipe” (if you can even call it that), is that its so customizable. You can use YOUR favorite crust, and YOUR favorite BBQ sauce and YOUR favorite cheese. You can even try to get all sneaky on your kids (or husband) and mix up some cauliflower and chicken together. #guilty. We are a naan crust, homemade bbq sauce, mozzarella cheese family over here, with a healthy dose of cilantro on top. We enjoy trying different homemade pizza recipes and this one is a keeper.

Pro-tip: if you want to make this meal as easy as possible, buy your cauliflower pre-cut. Or, if you’re like me and find a certain therapeutic je ne sais quoi about chopping your own, stick with the whole headed cauliflower approach. (I told you it was customizable!) However you choose to do it, just do it. Healthy, easy, quick, delicious. Those are the best adjectives a dinner could have, which just proves that bbq cauliflower pizza is where it’s at.
