Microgreens are a perfect topping on any type of pizza. They add color, flavor, and so many nutrients . You would have to add a lot of mature broccoli/kale to get the same amount of nutrients as a handful of microgreens on top of your slice!
This is our favorite plant-based alternative for homemade pizzas. Enjoy!
Pizza Cheese Sauce:
3/4 cup Cashews
1/4 cup Nutritional yeast
1 clove Garlic – peeled (can also substitute garlic powder)
1/4 Lemon – peeled (can also use 2 tbsp lemon juice, but keeping the inside of the lemon adds extra fiber!)
1 cup Plant Milk*
1/4 cup Water*
2 tsp Cumin
1/4 tsp Turmeric
2 tsp Onion powder
Salt to taste
1. Soak cashews in boiling water for at least 10 minutes*
2. Add all ingredients to blender
3. Use as cheese alternative for homemade pizza! Spread cheese sauce evenly across top pizza and it should thicken in the oven.
Notes:
* Can use 1 1/4 cup vegetable broth in place of milk and water
* You may need to soak cashews for longer if you do not have a high-speed blender. If this is the case, we recommend soaking in warm water overnight.
