It’s the weekend, and I decided to make Vegan Vegetable Pizza for dinner.  I started with my favorite pizza shell, made from chickpeas by @eatBanza!  They sent me these delicious pizza shells to try out.

Some other key ingredients included yellow onions, sliced zucchini, red pepper, and artichoke hearts.  The taste was absolutely delicious, and each slice was cheesy.  I used some vegan mozzarella cheese.  Vegetable Pizza is delicious to serve for lunch or dinner.

You can find this pizza crust in the frozen foods sections of Mom’s Organic Market, Whole Foods Market, Wegmans and Sprouts Farmers Market.   They all have have a great assortment of fresh veggies and plant based foods.  If you’d like to see some great kitchen essentials, check out the ones I use on my Shop Page.
