Cauliflower Pizza with Goats' Cheese and Roasted Veg Recipe

This isn't really a pizza, we admit. Not in the traditional sense, anyhow. It is, however, a great low-carb base for delicious roasted veg, and if the rest of your family hear you're making "pizza" you'll have a captive audience before you've even begun! This dish is a vegetable and cheesy sensation, combining cheddar and goats' cheese, aubergine and cauliflower which act as the healthy element to balance out the cheese (but who's complaining really?). To top the whole thing off perfectly, make sure your seasoning is well timed and well proportioned (don't forget the oregano).

With this pizza, you save on the calories and saturated fat you would otherwise suffer from a thick, doughy base, and get a couple of your 5 a day in as well; what's not to love?! This cauliflower pizza with goats' cheese and roasted veg is sure to be a favourite for years to come. Yum, yum, yum!
