Roasted Baby Asparagus & Pepper Pizza with Plant-Based Feta and Thyme
Taylor O’Sullivan
Is there such a thing as a light pizza? There is when sweet spring flavors predominate. (And when the cheese is plant-based.)
How to Make It
1
Cut mozzarella block into very thin rounds. Preheat the oven to 425°. Unpackage Amy’s frozen Vegan Margherita Pizza and place mozzarella rounds on top of frozen pizza. Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 15 minutes.
2
While the pizza is baking, slice the asparagus into thin strips or chop into approximately 2-inch long pieces. Slice peppers into thin rings. Toss the asparagus and sweet peppers in olive oil in a large bowl. Distribute veggies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3
Roast veggies in the oven at 425° for 15 minutes. Pull the pizza out and let it cool. When the veggies are sufficiently roasted (slight browning on the edges), remove veggies from the oven and set aside.
4
Scatter asparagus and pepper on top of the pizza. Finish by sprinkling crumbled feta and fresh thyme on top.
