Ingredients
- PIZZA:
- Two 12- to 14-inch good quality pizza crusts, homemade is best for low carb
- 1 1/2 cups vegan marinara or pizza sauce
- 8-ounce package vegan mozzarella-style cheese shreds
- TOPPING
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces plant-based ground, crumbles
- 7 to 8 ounces plant-based bacon
- 4-ounce package vegan pepperoni or 2 thinly sliced plant-based sausage links
- 1/2 cup vegan marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha, or seasoning of your choice
- A handful of baby spinach or arugula leaves, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450º F.
- Place the crusts on two pizza pans or baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Leave about 1/2 inch of the edges without sauce (adjust as needed based on your crust size and sauciness preference). Sprinkle the cheese shreds on top. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or stir-fry pan, heat the oil. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute.
- Add the ground bacon and sausage. Turn the heat up to medium-high and sauté, stirring frequently, until it starts to lightly brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the marinara and sauté for another 2 minutes or so, stirring almost constantly. Add sriracha or other hot seasoning if you want it spicier.
- Carefully divide the meaty mixture over the top of the two pizzas.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bottom of the crust is a golden brown.
- Take out of the oven. Sprinkle a few baby spinach or arugula leaves on top, let it sit for a minute or two, then cut each pizza into 6 wedges to serve. Enjoy!
