Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 garlic-herb pizza crust, like the kind from Trader Joe's, can use other pizza crust
- 2 tsp. olive oil, divided
- 1/2 red onion, sliced into very thin 1/2 moons
- 1/3 cup raw cashews, soaked at least 2 hours in water
- 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, if raw garlic bothers use, substitute roasted garlic cloves or garlic powder
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, or other plain milk
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- Large handful of assorted herbs, finely chopped (I used a mixture of mostly basil, parsley, and oregano)
- Red pepper flakes, for topping
- Vegan Parmesan Cheese , for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove the dough from the package and let rest, about 20 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. oil.
- Add the onions, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often until onions have caramelized.
- In a high-powered blender, place in the drained cashews, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic, cornstarch milk and lemon juice. Blend, on high until smooth and creamy, about 4-5 minutes. The sauce should be very smooth, not grainy.
- Lightly flour your hands and stretch the dough out onto a pizza stone or peel. Brush the crust with the remaining 1 tsp. of olive oil and place in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. (If you are using another brand of pizza dough, make sure to cook according to package directions).
- Remove the dough from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Add the garlic-cashew cream in a single layer.
- Top with caramelized onions, fresh chop herbs, red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese.
- Slice and serve!
