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.
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.
