Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 head of garlic, roasted
- 1 cup vegan cheese shreds (mozzarella style)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust instructions, usually around 475°F (245°C).
- Prepare the Garlic: Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Sauté until mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the Pizza: Roll out the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the roasted garlic across the crust (squeeze the cloves out of their skins), then top with the sautéed mushrooms and vegan cheese.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the vegan cheese has melted.
- Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
