Vegan Pizza

Vegan Pizza

1 pizza crust
pizza sauce
basil (fresh or paste)

3 or 4 cloves garlic
splash of olive oil

Toppings:
first layer: spinach/arugula or greens, scallions
second layer: mushrooms (sliced)- lots of them!
third layer: sliced black olives, cherry or grape tomatoes cut in half, roasted garlic
optional- nutritional yeast sprinkles on top

Preheat oven according to pizza crust directions. While the oven is preheating, cut garlic cloves in half and roast in oven in a glass dish/pan with a drizzle of olive oil. If they start to turn brown remove from oven, otherwise remove when you’re ready to top the pizza.

Spread pizza sauce and basil around to cover crust. Add the toppings layer by layer (see above). Pop it in the oven for approx 15 mins or until the mushrooms start to look wrinkly and cooked.

Enjoy!
