Ingredients
•
1 CAULIPOWER® Cauliflower Pizza Crust
•
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
•
1 large carrot, thinly sliced on the diagonal
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced
•
4 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
•

1 clove garlic, minced

salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 teaspoons honey

1 cup baby arugula
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with foil.
2
Toss carrot slices with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss red onion with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the carrots and onions on their own baking sheets.
3
Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
4
While carrot and onion are roasting, combine goat cheese, egg yolk, garlic, and lemon zest in a bowl. Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
5
Remove vegetables from the oven. Toss carrots with honey and set aside. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
6
Spread the goat cheese mixture all over the crust, leaving about 1/4 inch from edge. Arrange carrot on the pizza and sprinkle with red onion.
7
Bake pizza until cheese is melted and starting to brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
8
While the pizza bakes, toss arugula with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cut pizza into slices and top with the salad, or serve it on the side.
