Don’t think pizza can be delicious without cheese? Well, you’ll need to try this cheese-less pizza with sun-dried tomatoes and broccoli before you make up your mind! 

I love to make homemade pizza and experiment with different vegetable topping! It was when I started making pizza from scratch that I discovered you don’t need cheese at all to make an amazing pizza.

I’ve even started to order my take-out pizza cheese-free because I love how many more veggies I can top on instead. Plus, you have a whole playground of herbs, spices and sauces that you can try. A cheese-less pizza is also a healthy option for lunch or dinner. I’ve even had a slice for breakfast too.

Before going plant-based I found that after a slice of pizza with meat and cheese I would feel bloated and uncomfortable. But when made plant-based, I can enjoy many slices of pizza with no ill effects.

Even though, I’ve tried many flavor combos when it comes to a cheese-less pizza I would say this is my favorite! The broccoli and sundried tomatoes compliment each other perfectly.

Hack it

Add greens: One of my secrets to getting in my greens is topping them to my pizza! Throw on arugula, kale or spinach to get in some extra greens.

Kick up the spices: Pizza is all about the spices in my opinion it really makes a tomato pie delicious. So, I make sure to at least pick three from my go-to spice list: oregano, basil, dried onion, thyme, cumin, chilli, cajun or paprika.

Drizzle it: To make your pizza gourmet I would suggest adding a drizzle. I love to this on special occasions or date nights. My favorite pizza drizzle options are my pesto, salsa, bbq sauce or balsamic glaze.

Add picked or fermented foods: I’m all about adding in fermented or pickled plant foods where I can, they also make delicious toppings for a pizza. I love adding quick pickled onions or kimchi.
