Easy Green Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 medium pizza crust or 2 small like pita bread. I used Trader Joe’s Kale & Broccoli crust
- Vegan Pesto recipe below

- Toppings like mushrooms, sliced tofu, onions, olives, vegan parmesan or other vegan cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, baby arugula, balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Prepare the crust according to package directions (if necessary).
- Preheat the oven to 450
- Spread evenly with pesto.
- Drizzle with tomato sauce
- Add toppings that are great cooked: tofu, mushrooms, onions, cherry tomatoes.
- Bake at 450 degrees for about 7-10 minutes until the toppings are softened. You can do this on a baking sheet or directly on the rack for a crispier crust. Broiling for a few minutes is another option.
