Notes
The measurements and ingredients are just a guide. This is a very versatile recipe. Add your favorite toppings in your portions of choice.
This recipe makes one individual portion. If you're feeding a family, you could prepare some pizza toppings and have everyone create their own pizza!
Sauce: I usually use tomato paste instead of pizza sauce as it's something I always have on hand. It's better than it sounds! But pizza sauce works well too. Choose what you have on hand and adjust the amount to taste. I like to sprinkle some basil, oregano and garlic powder on top, but this won't be as important if you use store-bought pizza sauce. Store-bought pesto is another delicious and convenient option.
Vegetables: Great options include sliced mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, caramelized onions, bell peppers and kale (I love how it gets crispy). Olives, pickled banana peppers or jalapeños are also delicious.
Protein: I like using canned black beans or lentils for a convenient plant-based protein option. I understand that this is not a usual pizza topping choice, but I've been doing this for years and love it. Vegan meat alternatives, such as vegan pepperoni, would work very well for those who aren't interested in having beans on their pizza.
Cheese: I typically use vegan cheddar or mozzarella. Use your favorite cheese, vegan or not.
