Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cauliflower
  • cup vegan mayo or any
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce any
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons grated parm
  • 1 tablespoon pesto sun-dried tomato or any

Instructions
 

  • Wash and cut the stem off your cauliflower so that it lays flat. Add some water to a pot and place your cauliflower. Lid on and steam it for 10 minutes on medium-low. 10 minutes from the boiling point.
  • In the meantime mix your sauce. Place your steamed cauliflower onto a baking dish lined with parchment paper and turn into Picasso by slathering it in your sauce.
  • Bake in a pre-heated 425F oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden. The timing will depend on the oven.

Notes

I love “ vegenaise “ mayo but any will work. You can absolutely make this vegan if you use a vegan parm or any plant-based cheese. Even some nutritional yeast will work. Feel free to use any pesto (or leave it out) it will be delicious without it too. Any herbs or spices are optional here
P.s this is perfect for meal prep and incredible the following day too.
Store it in the fridge or divide it into portions for lunch with any protein of choice. You can also cut your cauliflower into florets once it’s baked and add it to tacos with guacamole.
