Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Make chia egg by adding whisking together ground chia and water. Let absorb for at least 10 minutes.

  • In a food processor pulse cauliflower until it shredded. (Or grate by hand). Then add to a large mixing bowl with almond meal, buckwheat flour, chia egg, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper. Knead with your hands to create a large doughy ball.

  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and transfer dough on top. Roll it out to be 1/4 inch thick.** Bake for 30 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.

  • Meanwhile, make your cashew parsley pesto: In a food processor add parsley, cashews, oil and lemon. Pulse until combined.

  • Paint cherry tomatoes with oil and cook in oven on broil for 10 minutes, or until bursted and slightly charred.

  • Lather flatbread with pesto and top with roasted tomatoes, chopped kale, radish, and pomegranate.

Notes

Tip for the dough: For easier rolling, layer a piece of parchment paper over top of the dough and set your rolling pin on top. Roll out until it's 1/4 inch thick. Peel off the paper and you're ready to bake.
