Easy Vegan Pizza Margherita Recipe
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
Your Favorite Pizza Crust (I used Banza)
Vegan Mozzarella (I used Miyokos)
Toppings (vegan parm, roasted garlic, thyme, oregano)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
Prepare the crust: Gently brush your pizza dough with some oil. This adds a hint of flavor and helps to get that golden-brown finish.
Add the sauce and cheese: Spread your chosen sauce evenly over the crust. Then, add thin slices of vegan mozzarella. The thinner the slices, the better they melt!
Top it up: Sprinkle fresh basil leaves and add your favorite toppings. Be creative! A combination of vegan parm, roasted garlic, thyme, and oregano works wonders.
Bake to perfection: Pop your pizza in the oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it for that golden cheesy goodness! Sprinkle with some shiitake bacon if you're feelin' fancy;) For an extra crispy crust prop your pizza right on the oven rack or use this perforated steal pan.
Enjoy: Once done, let it cool for a couple of minutes, slice it up, and dig in!
Remember, this recipe is super adaptable, so feel free to experiment with different toppings and sauces. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious homemade vegan pizza, Veginners! 🍕🌱

This recipe offers a healthier take on the traditional pizza with higher protein content due to the chickpea crust and a good balance of nutrients.

If you're using homemade pesto or marinara, the ingredients in those will also affect the final nutritional values.
