Vegan Cashew Cheese Pizza

Ingredients

Pizza dough

1 (store-bought or homemade)

Cashews

1 cup, soaked in water for at least 4 hours

Garlic

2 cloves

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Nutritional yeast

1/4 cup

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Olive oil

2 tablespoons, plus more for drizzling

Your favorite veggies

2 cups, chopped (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, etc.)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, ensuring it's evenly shaped.
3. In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Spread the cashew cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
5. Top the pizza generously with your choice of chopped veggies, arranging them for an appealing presentation.
6. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the pizza, adding a touch of richness.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the veggies are tender but still vibrant.
8. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
