Garlic Veggie Gourmet Pizza

Back in the day, one of my favorite “cheater meals” was Round Table’s Veggie Gourmet Pizza. And when I went back on-diet, it was one of a few things I still desperately craved. It took me years to even dare to create a PKU-friendly version, and several rounds of trial and error before I landed on this recipe. But I’m happy to report, it’s really close to the real thing! …One thing: beware of garlic breath!

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients:

Note: all ingredients listed below will be split between two pizzas.

1 Cambrooke Therapeutics pizza crust  

For Sauce:
2 Tbsp Trader Joe’s Garlic Spread Dip (heaping)
1.5 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp unsweetened coconut milk (So Delicious)
1.5 tsp dried oregano

Toppings:
1/2 C mozzarella shreds (So Delicious)
1/4 C cheddar jack shreds (So Delicious)
1/4 C baby spinach leaves (raw)
1/4 C zucchini
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or chopped
1/4 C mushrooms
1/8 C red onion
1/4 C artichoke hearts
1/4 C tomatoes
1 Tbsp scallion

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Allow your Cambrooke crust to thaw. Once no longer frozen, slice it in half to make two “skinny” crust pizzas vs one. You should still have two full circles.
    …I find the crusts to be a bit too dense/doughy and doing this, you get two meals for the price of one! (win, win)

  3. Next, cut all of your vegetable toppings into thin slices: zucchini, mushrooms, red onion, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and scallion.
    I prefer to thinly slice the garlic as well, but chopping is much easier - your choice.

  4. To prepare your sauce, whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. You can adjust the amount of coconut milk to make it thicker or thinner, but do keep in mind this sauce will melt down in the oven, so don’t make it too thin. It should be similar to a bottled Ranch dressing.

  5. To prep your pizzas for the oven, divide all of your ingredients between the two pizzas. Start with the sauce and use all of it---as I mentioned, it will melt down. Then, layer the cheese. And finally, finish by topping with the veggies in whichever order you like best.

  6. Put in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until crust edges have browned and all of the cheese has melted.
