Scale
Ingredients
- Prepared Pizza Dough (I use Trader Joe’s pizza crust or this recipe)
Pumpkin Seed Pesto:
- 1/2 cup pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
- 1 cup packed basil leaves
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- salt/pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 cups thinly sliced tomatoes (from about 2-3 large tomatoes)
- 1/2 raw cup cashews
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds (or almonds with skins off)
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Stretch the pizza dough on a pizza stone or pizza pan and set aside.
- 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.
- Spread the pesto over the pizza crust and layer with thinly sliced tomatoes.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the pizza and place in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with more cheese if desired and crushed red pepper flakes for spice!
