Pizza Toppings
Pizza toppings are limited only by your imagination! Here are some quick ideas:
• Chop up whatever veggies are on hand and drizzle some olive oil or crushed tomatoes over them.
• Try new ideas for toppings like crumbled tofu, sun-dried tomatoes, beans, spinach or even sweetcorn.
• Add different sauces like pesto or red pepper and garlic purée or no sauce at all.
• Get creative with fake meats – slice up some veggie bacon or pepperoni substitute.
• Try nutritional yeast for a great cheesy taste.
• For a Mexican pizza, try refried beans, tomatoes and salsa on an unbaked crust!
