Nead Inspiration Cookbook: Veggie and Sausage Pizza

Yesterday I had 20 minutes to get to the grocery store and prepare a healthy meal for the kids before a client came over. I created this veggie and sausage pizza for the kids and their guests and everyone (including the hubz) enjoyed it.

Please note: It’s not gluten free or dairy free but it was loaded with good nutrition.

Ingredients for Veggie and Sausage Pizza

One pizza crust. I used the Boboli brand.

One tub of Hummus- 8 ounces

A small can of pizza sauce- 8 ounces

Broccoli

Asparagus

Yellow pepper

Mushrooms

Tomato off the vine

Spinach

Mozzarella cheese

Parmesan Cheese

Sausage (I used sweet)

Directions for Veggie Sausage Pizza

• Preheat the oven to 425 or whatever the temperature is for your brand of pizza crust.
• I used two pre-made pizza crusts. You can always use the cauliflower crust or make your own to create an even more healthy option, but I was in a hurry!
• Spread the hummus on the base of the pizza. I used almost all the hummus in the 8 oz tub between the two pizzas.
• Use 1/2 of the pizza sauce between two pizzas. I am minimizing the pizza sauce because it’s highly processed and full of sugar. So it’s really for taste.
• Brown the sausage and set aside. You could also use chicken or turkey which are lower in fat, or skip the meat altogether.
• Cut up the rest of the veggies and load them on the pizza. There are no rules for this. I used as much of the veggies as I can.
• Place the mozzarella on the cheese. I probably used three slices and distributed them between the pizzas. If you are avoiding dairy or have a sensitivity, you can skip it. The veggies are really the star of this pizza!
• Spread as much of the meat as you desire. I used it all up for these pizza.
• Sprinkle the Parmesean cheese. I also used nutritional yeast for a nuttier flavor.

And you are done! Pop it in the over for 10-15 minutes and your healthy pizza awaits!
