How to Make Cheeseless White Buffalo Chickpea Pizza on Flatbread
This Cheeseless White Buffalo Chickpea Pizza is surprisingly simple and wholesome! You can also make the almond flour flatbread and creamy cashew garlic sauce in advance to make assembling the pizza quicker and easier.
What You'll Need
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
- Blender
Ingredients
- Almond Flour Flatbread makes a delicious gluten-free pizza crust.
- Creamy Cashew Garlic Sauce is a mouthwatering substitute for cheese and traditional white sauce.
- Buffalo Seasoning offers rich flavour with a touch of heat.
- Chickpeas provide a delicious source of protein, fibre, folic acid and magnesium.
- Cauliflower makes a surprisingly scrumptious pizza topping. It can also be substituted with broccoli.
- Kale adds a delicious touch as a pizza topping. It's also an excellent source of vitamin C, B6, calcium and, of course, fibre.
- Mushrooms are a favourite pizza topping that's full of nutrients, including potassium, zinc, vitamin B12 and protein.
- Red Onion adds a little zing that complements the creamy garlic sauce and veggie toppings while providing vitamins B1, K and folic acid.
Step 1: Make Creamy Garlic Sauce
First, you will need to soften the cashews by soaking them overnight or in hot water for at least 20 minutes. Once softened, strain and rinse the soaked cashews and set aside. You can also use homemade cashew cream if you already have some on hand.
Heat the oil and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until the garlic becomes fragrant and begins to turn golden brown. Stir consistently to prevent sticking.
Next, add the soaked cashews, fresh water, and salt to a blender with the oil and garlic mixture. If using homemade cashew cream, skip adding the cashews and fresh water. Just blend the cashew cream with the garlic, oil, and salt.
Step 2: Make Almond Flour Flatbread
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
To make the almond flour flatbread, 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. Spread the batter evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. You can also follow these step-by-step instructions or watch the video.
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. I like to load my pizza with as much that will fit.
Step 6: Bake
Once you've loaded your flatbread with toppings, place it in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges of the crust begin to brown.
Substitutions & Variations
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 if you do not need this pizza to be vegan or vegetarian.
Other flatbread or pizza crust can be used in place of the almond flour flatbread.
Storing & Saving
This pizza is best served warm and fresh. However, it also makes great leftovers for lunch or a quick reheated dinner. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 days if kept in a well-sealed container.
