Servings 1 large pizza (14 to 16 in)
Ingredients
- 1 recipe of your favorite pizza crust (see my whole wheat recipe below)
- 1 large carrot, cut into small strips or grated
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 cup mung bean sprouts
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Peanut Sauce
- 1/2 cup peanut butter almond butter is also delicious!
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp maple syrup, honey or sugar
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1/4 cup ketchup (trust me on this one) make sure it has no corn syrup and low sugar
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. When dough is ready, press it out thinly onto a large pizza pan (at least 14 inches diameter), or two smaller pizza pans. I like a thin crust for this pizza.
- In a bowl, or a food processor, combine all sauce ingredients. Stir together or blend.
- Spread sauce generously onto pizza. You might have a a little leftover (makes for a great veggie dip!). Sprinkle with carrots and peppers. Bake for 7-10 min or until crust is just golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle with remaining ingredients: cilantro, bean sprouts, green onions and peanuts.
- Cut into slices and serve.
