Ingredients
Scale
Caramelized Onions:
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 Medium Yellow Onions (Halved, Skinned and Sliced into Long Strips)
Vegan Buffalo Sauce:
- 6 Tbsp Vegan Butter
- ¾ Cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
Flatbreads:
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Small Cauliflower (Core Removed, Cut into Small Florets)
- 2 Premade Flatbreads (We used Brooklyn Bred)
- 1 Cup Vegan Mozzarella Shreds
- ½ Cup Vegan Blue Cheese Dressing (Try this recipe for The Best Vegan Blue Cheese Dressing!)
- 2 Green Onions (Sliced, Garnish)
- 2 Tbsp Fresh Cilantro (Chopped, Garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the onions by slicing off the stem, cutting them in half through the root and removing the skin. Next slice the onions toward the root into long strips approx. ¼ inch thick. Finally chop off the root end, allowing the strips to break apart.
- Heat a skillet over medium/low heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the sliced onions and turn the heat to low.
- Continue to stir the onions occasionally until they are very soft and deep brown but not burned approx. 40 minutes.
- While the onions cook, make the sauce. In a small saucepan, add the vegan butter and melt it over medium heat. Then, add the hot sauce and stir thoroughly to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside. Next, cut the cauliflower by removing the core and cutting it into small florets.
- While continuing to stir and check on the onions, Cook the cauliflower. In a large skillet over medium/high heat add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for 1 minute and add the chopped cauliflower. Stir occasionally until the cauliflower starts to soften and brown approx. 10-12 minutes.
- Next add the buffalo sauce to the skillet (Reserve a small amount for drizzling on the pizza, if desired). Stir in the sauce to coat the cauliflower evenly. Continue to cook and stir the cauliflower for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes cover the pan and allow the cauliflower to steam in the sauce for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and begin to prepare the flatbread.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a flatbread onto a baking sheet and top with a layer of caramelized onion. Next add a layer of vegan mozzarella cheese, followed by the buffalo cauliflower. Place in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Finally, Garnish the flatbread with green onions, cilantro, vegan blue cheese dressing and reserved buffalo sauce. Enjoy!
