Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 295kcal
Ingredients
Tahini Liquid Cheese
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4-1/2 cup plain, unsweetened plant-milk
- salt to taste
Pita Pizza Assembly
- 4 medium whole wheat pita breads 5-6 inch size
- 3/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce (oil-free)
- 1 cup veggies sliced olives, artichoke hearts, cooked mushrooms, steamed broccoli florets, sliced tomatoes, fresh baby spinach, and/or fresh basil
Instructions
- To make the liquid cheese, place the tahini, nutritional yeast, vinegar, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisk vigorously to combine. Slowly drizzle in the non-dairy milk while whisking continuously, until it reaches a pourable consistency. Season with salt to taste. Alternately, toss everything into your blender and blend to combine.
- Preheat your oven to 425℉ degrees. Arrange your pitas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread each pita with marinara or pizza sauce, leaving a small margin around the edge clear. Drizzle or dollop your liquid cheese on top.
- Top with your favorite veggies, leaving off tender herbs and greens like basil and spinach for now. Bake for 6 – 8 minutes, or until the pitas are golden brown and crispy. Alternately, air fry at 400℉ degrees for 5 minutes. Finish with fresh herbs and greens if desired and enjoy hot!
Notes
Serving suggestion: Make a meat(less) lovers’ version of pita pizzas by adding ½ – 1 cup of plant-based protein, such as crumbled tempeh, cooked lentils, rehydrated and chopped soy curls, or any of your favorite vegan meat alternatives.
Notes: You can’t go wrong with red sauce, but it’s certainly not the only way to pizza perfection! Try swapping it out for vegan pesto, alfredo sauce, or even hummus.

Do you have a recommendation for gluten free alternative for whole wheat pita?
I found this recipe online. You could omit the sugar. https://elavegan.com/gluten-free-pita-bread/#recipe
Been eating this way for years I am not a beginner. It does remind me of variations I can use like the seseme, I tend towards making my own tahini from whole seeds,
It is wonderful to hear that!
It sounds yummy. Any ideas of which sauce is oil free? I’ve been searching. Thank you, Eileen
