Description
A simple recipe for a vegetarian pizza featuring roasted garlic and buffalo chickpeas on a sheet pan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and dried
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (about 12 inches)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt on a small baking sheet.
- Roast the chickpeas for 15 minutes.
- Remove the chickpeas from the oven and toss them immediately with the buffalo sauce.
- Place the pizza crust on a separate large baking sheet.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Distribute the buffalo chickpeas over the cheese.
- Top with blue cheese, if using.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Pat the chickpeas very dry before seasoning to help them crisp up during roasting.
- If you prefer a less spicy pizza, use less buffalo sauce on the chickpeas.
- You can use your favorite store-bought pizza dough instead of a pre-made crust.
