Note
Storing Leftovers: If you have any leftover Cauliflower Power Pizza, simply place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 375°F until it's heated through. This will help maintain the crust's texture better than microwaving.
