What does veggie pizza crust taste like
This veggie pizza crust isn’t trying to be like its traditional counterpart – and that’s totally okay! These veggie versions are softer but maintain their structure with a satisfying texture, even with a bit of bite. The secret: crispy cheese. You know how when you bake nachos some of the cheese melts onto the pan and it’s so delicious to pry off and eat? That’s what makes these veggie pizza crusts so good! The spinach and kale pizza crusts taste very similar – use one or the other, or both! The broccoli flavor shines through in the broccoli crust, and the zucchini brings a delicious savory taste.
Moisture: Vegetables naturally have a lot of water in them. The more moisture you can take out of the veggies before you make them into crusts, the crispier they will be. So if there is excess moisture, pat them down with a paper towel. Toppings: While you will be able to pick these up and eat them like a regular pizza dough, you don’t want to push your luck by piling the toppings on high. Take the minimalist approach! Salt the zucchini: If using zucchini, you can draw moisture out by sprinkling it with salt and leaving it for a few moments before squeezing the water out with paper towel. Cooking time: The broccoli pizza crust is a little soft if made exactly as the recipe is written. If you’d like it crisper, you can cook the broccoli before making it into crusts to remove more of the moisture.
Sauces: Make a homemade version of traditional tomato-based pizza sauce, a sweet and spicy pizza sauce, a white garlic pizza sauce, or a pesto sauce. Mediterranean: Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion slices, feta cheese, oregano. Classic margarita: Tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil, or make it spicy by sprinkling red pepper flakes. Mexican: Add jalapeños, bell peppers, red onion, black beans, corn, and guacamole. Greek: Like a Greek salad in veggie-pizza form. Add feta, spinach, black olives, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices. Vegetarian: Add your favorite fresh veggies for a vegetarian pizza. Butternut squash pizza: Roasted squash, maple caramelized onions, goats cheese, and spinach. Add some pine nuts! Korean: Use the ingredients from our Korean pulled pork pizza.
