Vegan Pesto And Roasted Tomato Pizza

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Stretch the pizza dough on a pizza stone or pizza pan and set aside.

Step 3

Place the pepitas, basil leaves, garlic cloves, nutritional yeast and a pinch of salt/pepper in the base of a food processor and pulse together until combined, about 8-10 times. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto comes together. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 4

Spread the pesto over the pizza crust and layer with thinly sliced tomatoes.

Step 5

Wipe out the food processor and add the cashews, almonds, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and salt. Pulse until very fine and combined, should be the texture of parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cheese over the pizza and place in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from oven, sprinkle with more cheese if desired and crushed red pepper flakes for spice!
