Servings people

1 medium pizza crust or 2 small like pita bread. I used Trader Joe’s Kale & Broccoli crust
Vegan Pesto recipe below
¼ cup tomato sauce optional
Toppings like mushrooms, sliced tofu, onions, olives, vegan parmesan or other vegan cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, baby arugula, balsamic glaze

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.
Remove from the oven and top with arugula, vegan parmesan and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
