Morning loves!
I am enjoying this Monday morning behind a mug of extra strong coffee and sweatpants since I’m off for Columbus Day!
Which is double appreciated after killing my first 10k yesterday. It was a challenge, but a gorgeous day for a race. I’ll be doing a full recap soon, but I will tell you that my celebratory sweet potato & ginger donut from Holy Donut was so worth it.

If you follow me on IG, you may have seen the near planet of a cauliflower I got at the farmer’s market.
The farmer’s that charge by the piece instead of by the pound are always my favorites. Hence the reason why I was able to get a head of cauliflower the size of smart car for $4. Call me greedy, I call it resourceful.
With a stockpile of cruciferous veggies at my disposal, I knew I wanted to put it to use for the Recipe Redux’s Sabra #TwoSpoons Tailgating Recipe Challenge.
And being the dedicated football fan gal I am, I have yet to miss NOT watching a single game this season. One of the perks of not having and refusing to get cable TV.
And everyone knows it doesn’t matter if your team wins or loses, it’s how good the spread of tailgating foods is.
Pizza being a top contender. I’ve never met a person that actually didn’t like pizza. And if I did, I blocked that kind of negativity straight out of my memory.
But in true Sinful Nutrition fashion, I couldn’t just bring cheese and crust to the equation. No, there had to be some pizazz in that pizza. Something cutting edge, out of the (pizza) box. Something as strangely weird as I’m cracked up to be.
Where sauce becomes hummus. Dough becomes naan. Oregano goes curry. And the Italian’s lose their goddamn minds.

I’ll be straight up, aside from olives, sun dried tomatoes are one of the only foods I’m not a fan of. But somehow in hummus form, and smothered under layers of curried vegetables and melty goat cheese, it works. I love the sweet, spicy, crunchy, and creamy combination this naan bread pizza brings to my non-football watching table.
Plus, each two slice serving has #TwoSpoons heaping spoonfuls of hummus, that will fill your bean recommendation for the week! Game day, game changer.

What’s your favorite tailgating food?
Which team are you rooting for this year?
Admittedly I’m not a big cauliflower fan but I sure would eat this – great flavors! I’m always rooting for the Nittany Lions but we’ve had a few bleak seasons over the years.
I adore curry but never seem to have it enough. This nann just screams tailgate – YUM. Congrats on the race!
Yum! You can’t fool me with calling it pizza and omitting cheese, but this sounds delicious!!!
Goat cheese is still cheese! 🙂
This looks great! I love Naan! I have to admit, my favorite tailgate food is anything crunchy I can munch on.. but I have to be careful with portion control loll! Due to marriage I will forever be a Bears fan, despite how we play this season lol.
I love a good Naanza! And I’m digging the idea to add in raisins or dried fruit. Looking forward to trying this recipe!
Sounds so yummy! I love naan bread for pizza .
Thanks Diane! So simple and delicious!
naan is one of my favorite type of bread..works so well for pizza and wraps too. i have to to try this roasted veggie version!!!
Thanks Dixya! One of my favs too!
Cauliflower is quite possibly my favorite vegetable, I love curry, and of course hummus…almost as much as I love making (certain) Italians lose their minds. 🙂 Totally making this!
Sounds like your kinda pie! 🙂
