Grilled Pizza with Cashew Parmesan
Makes 6 servings using half the pizza sauce and half the parmesan. Additional toppings extra.
Barbecued pizzas have a flavourful authenticity. They’re a perfect base for any toppings, especially when made even more flavourful with this delicious, freshly made pizza sauce and a cashew parmesan.
Tips
- If barbecuing a gluten-free crust, it’s best grilled in a pizza pan on the grill rather than directly on the burner. Its lack of gluten makes for a crispier base when baked or barbecued.
- Barbecued pizza crust is equally delicious rolled into a large rectangle and spread with pesto and a smattering of cashew cheese. Bake and cut into fingers.
