Instructions
 

Crust

  • Preheat oven to 180 °C. Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper and lightly grease it with olive oil.
  • Place well-drained quinoa into the blender and add sun-dried tomatoes, baking powder, garlic, olive oil, salt, and 100 ml water. Blend on high speed until combined.
  • Add psyllium and blend for another 10 – 15 seconds. Note on psyllium: Adjust all seasonings before adding psyllium because once you add it, the mixture starts to get really thick really fast.
  • Use a spoon or your hands to shape the crust into your desired size.
  • Bake for approx. 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.

Cashew and red cabbage spread

  • Put all ingredients in a high-speed blender and process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Topping

  • Toss red peppers, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini with olive oil to coat and put them in a roasting pan and place the veggies in the oven with pizza crust.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes until tender.
  • Remove from oven and toss with salt and pepper.
  • Once the crust is done, spread a layer of red cabbage and cashew spread on the crust and top it with roasted vegetables, red cabbage, basil...
