Loaded Weeknight Veggie Pizza Pie

Crisp vegan pizza with garlicky tomato sauce, sautéed peppers, onions and mushrooms, finished with vegan parm and herbs — fast, bold, satisfying.

Preparation:  40 mins
Servings:  2

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the oven

Preheat to 425°F (220°C) with a rack in the center. Line a round board or sheet with parchment—you’ll slide the pizza (with parchment) right onto the rack.

Step 2: Sauté the peppers and onion

Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, red onion and bell pepper. Season with a pinch of sea salt and ½ tsp each basil, oregano and garlic powder. Cook, stirring, until tender and lightly charred, 8–10 minutes.

Step 3: Finish the vegetables

Add the mushrooms and cook 2–3 minutes more until just softened. Set the pan aside.

Step 4: Mix the quick sauce

In a bowl, combine tomato sauce (from a 15oz (425g) can) with ½ tsp each basil, oregano and garlic powder, ½ tsp granulated sugar and ~¼ tsp sea salt (to taste).

Step 5: Prepare the dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll or press the pizza dough to a thin round about 12in (30cm). Transfer the dough and parchment to the lined board or sheet.

Step 6: Sauce and top

Spread a thin layer of the sauce over the dough (you may not need it all), sprinkle with a little vegan parmesan, then add the sautéed veggies in an even layer.

Step 7: Bake

Slide the pizza (with parchment) directly onto the oven rack. Bake 17–20 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden.

Step 8: Finish

Remove to a board. Top with remaining vegan parmesan, a pinch of dried oregano and red pepper flakes.

Step 9: Serve

Slice and serve hot. Leftovers keep well—cold slices are great straight from the fridge.
