Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup vegan chicken, diced
- 1 cup vegan white sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve a crispy pizza crust and perfectly roasted toppings.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure the kale is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned kale evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place it in the preheated oven and roast for about 10-12 minutes, or until the kale is crispy and slightly browned. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- While the kale is roasting, prepare the cherry tomatoes. In another mixing bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- After the kale has been removed from the oven, lower the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). On a clean baking sheet or pizza stone, place the pre-made pizza crust.
- Spread the vegan white sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Evenly distribute the diced vegan chicken over the white sauce, followed by the seasoned cherry tomatoes. Make sure to spread them out for even cooking and flavor distribution.
- Finally, top the pizza with the crispy roasted kale, scattering it evenly over the other toppings.
- Place the assembled pizza in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are heated through.
- Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. This will help the toppings set slightly.
- Serve hot, and enjoy your Crispy Kale Roasted Tomato and Vegan Chicken White Sauce Pizza with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce!
Tips
- Preheat the Oven: Always preheat your oven to the right temperature to ensure a crispy crust. A hot oven is key to achieving that perfect pizza texture!
- Kale Preparation: Make sure to massage the kale with olive oil and seasonings. This not only enhances the flavor but also helps it crisp up beautifully during roasting.
- Roast the Kale: Keep an eye on the kale while it roasts. Stirring halfway through ensures even cooking and prevents any pieces from burning.
- Layering Flavors: When assembling your pizza, spread the toppings evenly. This allows for a balanced flavor in every bite, ensuring you get a taste of everything with each slice.
- Cooling Time: Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes after baking. This helps the toppings set, making it easier to slice and serve without everything sliding off.
- Pairing Suggestions: Serve your pizza with a fresh side salad or a vegan dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition!
