I love making this healthy vegetarian twist on a classic crowd favorite and sharing it with friends and family – I know it will be gone in minutes!
It’s packed with warm and smoky flavors, roasted cauliflower florets and a generous layer of melty mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Round out the symphony of flavors with an eclectic mix of juicy cherry tomatoes, diced red onions and a sprinkling of zesty lime, adding a touch of freshness to every bite.
Enjoy!
