Roasted Tomato and Onion Pizza

Hello my faithful followers, I am back in action with some delicious recipes waiting to be shared. This one is from weeks ago when Bianca and I had our old roommate Natalie over for dinner. We've been wanting to cook together for a long time too because Natalie has been eating much healthier since the summer and it's always fun to try new things with friends. Bianca and I saw this amazing pizza recipe on Tastespotting this week so we figured it would be perfect for a girls night, and it was! We all loved it! Bianca said it's our best pizza yet!

Recipe
Roasted Veggies
red onion
yellow onion
tomato
basil
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
garlic
Pesto
basil
garlic
lemon
olive oil
Start with a bunch of basil, a garlic clove, half a lemon squezzed and a drizzle olive oil. Blend ingredients together adding more olive oil if it's too dry. Taste to see if you need more lemon or garlic. Add as needed.

Cheese
nutritional yeast
sesame seeds
In a coffee grinder, using equal parts.

Now, we had a pizza crust that was already made and you just bake it in the oven. You can do the same or use a dough, either will work out just fine. The veggies will need to be roasted before anyways.

To prepare the roasted veggies, chop tomatoes and onion into small chunks. For two smaller sized pizzas we used 3-4 tomatoes, half a red onion and half a yellow onion. Add 2 minced garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, roast in the oven for about 35-40 minutes at 375 degrees.

Meanwhile prepare the crusts for the veggies by spreading with pesto. Once the veggies are roasted add them to the pizzas and top by sprinkling (don't be shy) with the vegan cheese. Place in the oven for about 15 minutes or according to the cooking directions of the crust you chose.
Wallah, healthy vegan guilt free pizza! Please indulge in this amazing recipe, get some girls together and have a night in!

Have fun,
<3 Dani
