  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza:

  • 1/2 of one Trader Joe’s garlic-herb pizza crust (or half of a homemade recipe or a gluten-free recipe)
  • 1/2 cup each red, green, and orange bell pepper (loosely chopped)
  • 1/3 cup red onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup button mushrooms (chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp each dried or fresh basil, oregano, and garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Sauce:

  • 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce (organic when possible)
  • 1/2 tsp each dried or fresh basil, oregano, garlic powder, granulated sugar
  • ~1/4 tsp sea salt (to taste)

Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup vegan parmesan cheese
  • Red pepper flake + dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and position a rack in the middle.
  2. Sauté Veggies: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 Tbsp olive oil, onion, and bell peppers. Season with salt, herbs, and stir. Cook until soft and slightly charred (10-15 minutes), adding mushrooms in the last few minutes. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine tomato sauce with seasonings and salt to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed. If using tomato paste, add water to thin until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Prepare Vegan Parmesan: Blitz raw cashews, sea salt, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder in a food processor until a fine meal is reached. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate to keep fresh.
  5. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough and transfer it to a parchment-lined round baking sheet. Add the pizza with the parchment directly to the oven to properly crisp the crust.
  6. Assemble Pizza: Spread the desired amount of tomato sauce on the dough (you’ll have leftovers), sprinkle with vegan parmesan cheese, and top with sautéed veggies.
  7. Bake Pizza: Use the baking sheet to gently slide the pizza (with parchment underneath) directly onto the oven rack. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
  8. Serve: Serve with additional vegan parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and red pepper flake. Enjoy cold or reheated leftovers.

Notes

  • Vegan Parmesan: Make sure to prepare the vegan parmesan cheese ahead of time.
  • Sauce Variations: You can substitute one 6-ounce can of tomato paste for the tomato sauce, adjusting with water to the desired consistency.
  • Leftovers: Leftovers keep well and can be enjoyed cold.
