I have such a soft spot for these Zesty Cauliflower Pizza Bites!
They remind me of cozy nights spent with friends, munching on snacks while watching movies.
Plus, they’re so easy to whip up, and you can customize them with your favorite toppings.
I like to think of them as a guilt-free way to enjoy pizza flavors without the heavy crust!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using almond flour for its mild flavor and binding properties, but you can also use oat flour or chickpea flour if that's what you have on hand! Nutritional yeast is my go-to for that cheesy flavor without any vegan cheese – it’s magic, really.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to serve these with a side of marinara for dipping – it adds an extra layer of flavor.
- •If you want a bit more spice, throw in some red pepper flakes into the mixture!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add chopped spinach or kale to the mix for an extra nutrient boost.
- •You could also try different herbs like thyme or rosemary for a twist on the flavor.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I like to reheat them in the oven to keep them crispy!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prep the mixture and form the bites, then store them in the fridge for a day. Just bake them when you're ready to enjoy.
What can I use instead of nutritional yeast?
If you’re not a fan, you can try using vegan cheese shreds, but the flavor will be slightly different.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a food processor, add the cauliflower florets and pulse until they resemble rice.

- 5
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture and form them into small bite-sized patties, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- 6
Drizzle the patties with olive oil, then bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
- 7
Once they’re out of the oven, top each bite with a halved cherry tomato and sprinkle with fresh basil.
- 8
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these zesty bites warm!
