Vegan Green Goddess Pizza

This vibrant green goddess pizza is bursting with vibrant veggies and fresh flavor! Slathered in basil white bean hummus, and piled high with roasted vegetables, this delicious pizza is totally vegan and easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

It just wouldn't be March without my usual Pi Day recipe. Pi Day actually happens tomorrow, but Wednesday is my regular mid-week posting day, plus this gives you time to gather your ingredients for all those wild celebrations you've got planned. Try to keep things under control this year!

This year it's a pizza pie I'm sharing, and to be honest, I didn't actually make this with Pi Day in mind — I've been hanging on to it for a while. I just realized it was perfect for Pi Day, and late March (almost spring!), and anyone looking for something green to make for Saint Patrick's Day.

So this pizza is green. Fair warning: there's no actual green goddess dressing involved, but I noticed that most of the recipes included in the annual early spring internet explosion of green goddess-themed recipes don't either, so I'm okay with that.

What it does have is green veggies! I went with zucchini, broccoli and artichoke hearts, but you could really use just about any veggie you want, as long as it's suitable for roasting (it doesn't even have to be green). Drizzle the veggies with some olive oil and roast them in the oven as the pizza crust bakes.

Also, hummus! I'm a big fan of hummus and beany dip things on pizza in general, as demonstrated by this Greek-inspired pizza and this Mexican-inspired pizza.

This pizza uses a basil white bean hummus that's delicious on its own as well as on a pizza. Lots of basil goes into this hummus, as well as garlic and some lemon juice. If you're a fan of pesto you'll dig this hummus.

Place everything into a food processor bowl and blend until smooth.

When the crust is done baking, slather the hummus on top, then spread the veggies out over the hummus.

You can sprinkle your pizza with some fresh basil and red pepper flakes before serving if you like.

Tips for Making Awesome Green Goddess Pizza

• The basil white bean hummus can be made several days in advance and stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator. I recommend bringing it back up to room temperature before spreading it on your pizza crust — I usually do this by zapping mine in the microwave for 15 seconds or so.
• You can absolutely substitute your favorite veggies for those called for in the recipe! Mushrooms, bell peppers, red onions and cauliflower would all be great.
• I usually buy my pizza dough. I'm lazy! Most store-bought doughs are vegan and can be found in the frozen foods section. Plan ahead and read the instructions on the bag, because you'll probably need to thaw it and let it sit out at room temperature before using. (Side note: do you want a homemade pizza dough recipe? Let me know in the comments, and I'll deliver!)
• For a gluten-free pizza, use your favorite gluten-free crust.

Ingredients

For the Pizza

• 1 pound pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon cornmeal (optional)
• 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 small crown)
• 2 cups chopped zucchini (about 1 small zucchini)
• 1 (9 once) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Basil White Bean Hummus

• 1 (14 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
• 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¾ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For Topping

• Chopped fresh basil
• Red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425° and lightly oil a baking sheet.

2. Roll the pizza dough into a 14-inch circle and transfer it to the baking sheet.

3. Brush the top of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and optionally sprinkle the edges with cornmeal.

4. Place the broccoli, zucchini and artichoke hearts into a roasting pan or large oven-safe skillet. Drizzle the veggies with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle the veggies lightly with salt and pepper.

5. Place the pizza crust and veggies into the oven, with the pizza crust on the upper rack and the veggies on the lower rack.

6. Bake the crust and roast the veggies for about 20 minutes, until the crust is puffy and golden and the veggies are browned in spots. Toss the veggies once, about halfway through baking.

7. While the crust bakes and the veggies roast, make the hummus. Place the beans, basil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, garlic and salt into the bowl of a food processor fitted with an s-blade. 

8. Blend until smooth, and then drizzle in the olive oil with the food processor running.

9. Taste-test the hummus and add more salt or lemon juice, if desired.

10. When the crust has finished baking and the veggies have finished roasting, spread the hummus evenly over the crust, then distribute the veggies over the hummus.

11. Sprinkle the pizza with additional fresh basil and red pepper flakes, if you like. Slice and serve.
