Description

An easy plant-based pizza recipe with yellow squash, fresh tomatoes, and a cashew herbed ricotta cheese. This vegan pizza is beautiful and delicious!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ Cup Raw Cashews (Boiled or Soaked)
  • 3 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Lemon (Juiced)
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 Cup Water (more if needed)
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Dill (Minced)
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Basil (Minced)
  • Pizza Dough (Your Choice)
  • 2 medium Tomatoes (Sliced Thin)
  • 1 Yellow Squash (Ribbons or choppy very fine)
  • 2 Tbsp. Vegan Parmesan Cheese (for Garnish, if desired)
  • More Fresh Basil (for Garnish)

Instructions

  1. Soak the cashews for 8 hours or boil them for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse.
  2. Prepare the fresh ingredients as directed above.
  3. Place the prepared cashews and all of the ricotta ingredients (excluding the herbs) into a high speed blender and blend on high until ricotta is smooth.
  4. Scoop the ricotta into a bowl and stir in the minced herbs. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  5. Prepare the crust of your choice. We like Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Pizza crust. And we cook it for the entire time without toppings.
  6. When your crust is still hot. Spread the ricotta over the crust. Arrange the tomatoes and squash ribbons on top of the ricotta.
  7. Garnish with herbs and vegan Parmesan, if using, and cut.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  9. Leftover pizza can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or leftover herbed ricotta cheese can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • You may have extra herbed ricotta cheese depending on how much you use.  If so, it is also great for pasta, toast, or even for a veggie dip!
