I love focaccia and I love pizza. So what could be better than tuning my focaccia into a puffy, delectable pizza-like creation with this Easy Tomato Focaccia Bread recipe. It feels like a gourmet version of the cafeteria pizza of my childhood. It’s nostalgic, but tastes so much better.

One of the reasons that these Teriyaki Cauliflower Wings have such a nice bite to it is the panko breadcrumbs in the recipe. I love using them to get a crisp outer layer on anything baked or fried in the air fryer as this dish is. Bonus: this is a vegetarian appetizer that with a small tweak can be vegan, too.
