Servings 4

Ingredients

  • cornmeal
  • 16 oz pre-made pizza dough
  • 1/4 cup vegan pesto plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil drained
  • 1/3 cup chickpeas skins removed
  • 8-12 stalks asparagus*
  • 1/4 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup arugula
  • 1 lemon zested

Instructions

  • Place dough on a cornmeal dusted cutting board. Allow to come to room temperature (approx. 60 minutes). 
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Spray a 16" round baking sheet (or baking sheet of choice) with non-stick spray. Place dough on the sheet and stretch to desired shape. 
  • Spread 1/4 cup of pesto (or more if needed) evenly over the dough, then top with sun-dried tomatoes, chickpeas, asparagus and peas. Place in the oven for 12-20 minutes, or until crust is brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and top with arugula, lemon zest and additional pesto (to taste). Slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

*You will need more or less asparagus depending on how thin you stretch your dough and how thick your asparagus stalks are. I went with fairly thin asparagus.
