Gluten-Free Quinoa Pizza Crust Loaded with Fresh Vegetables 🌱😋
Ingredients:
1 Recipe Quinoa Chia Pizza Crust (see Recipe 25 or similar)
1/2 cup (120ml) Pizza Sauce (check ingredients for suitability)
1 cup Shredded Vegan Mozzarella-style Cheese or 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
2 cups Mixed Chopped Vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, olives, broccoli florets, spinach)
Dried Oregano or Italian Seasoning for sprinkling
Directions:
1. Prepare Crust: Follow the instructions to make and pre-bake your quinoa chia pizza crust until set and lightly golden (approx. 15-20 minutes at 400°F/200°C).
2. Add Sauce: Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
3. Add "Cheese": Sprinkle the vegan mozzarella-style shreds or nutritional yeast evenly over the sauce.
4. Top with Veggies: Arrange your chosen chopped vegetables over the cheese layer. Distribute them evenly. Add spinach last if using.
5. Season: Sprinkle a little dried oregano or Italian seasoning over the toppings.
6. Final Bake: Return the pizza to the 400°F (200°C) oven. Bake for another 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp, the vegetables are tender, and the vegan cheese is melted (if using).
7. Serve: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
