Description
A simple recipe for a vegetarian pizza featuring roasted garlic and buffalo chickpeas on a sheet pan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (about 12 inches)
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a small baking sheet.
- Roast the chickpeas for 10 minutes until slightly crispy.
- Remove the chickpeas from the oven and toss them with the buffalo sauce.
- Place the pizza crust on a separate baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce (if using a base sauce, otherwise skip this) or just place the buffalo chickpeas evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and blue cheese (if using) over the chickpeas.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, slice, and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use canned chickpeas, just rinse and dry them well before seasoning.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
