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.
