Nutritarian Pizza

Friday night in my house has always been pizza night. But with cheese on my no-no list, it simply won't do to buy from local pizza places. So, in order to keep from being tempted to eat the non-vegan kind, I called my dad and told him I would be making personal pizzas instead! 

I picked up some whole wheat flatbread and got chopping! 

The great thing about pizza like this is it's versatility. You can add whatever veggies you want! If you feel the need to add cheese or something cheese-like, sprinkle on some nutritional yeast. 

I topped mine and my mom's with sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and red onion and spread that on the flat bread as a base. Then I sprinkled some fresh chopped herbs, some cannellini beans, fresh chopped Roma tomatoes, and nutritional yeast. 


The flatbread got nice and crispy, just the way I like it! 

Ingredients (makes two personal pizzas):

2 whole wheat flatbreads
4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
4 cloves garlic
1/3 red onion, chopped 
1/2 can cannellini beans 
Small package of variety of mushrooms, chopped
1/2 tbsp coconut oil 
2-3 tbsp chopped mix of fresh basil, oregano, and parsley 

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Add chopped onion, mushrooms and garlic with coconut oil to a frying pan and sauté until soft. 

Spread mushroom mix on flatbread. 

Top with all other ingredients

Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes
