Here is one of my many favourite pizza recipes! You get all the creaminess of cheese with hummus and avocado, with the vibrant, sweet and salty taste of caramelized onions and roasted eggplant.
Author: The Edgy Veg
Recipe type: Dinner
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
Pizza crust, dough or naan
1 small eggplant, cut into ¼ inch slices
Coconut oil
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 cup hummus, garlic works great here
Cilantro, finely chopped
Avocado, sliced
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of Himalayan rock salt
Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Instructions
Drizzle your eggplant with coconut oil and sprinkle with pink salt. Roast these bad boys for about 20 minutes, flipping half way.
Multi tasking is great! While your eggplant is cooking, sauté your onions in coconut oil and a pinch of salt on low heat until they are caramelized. The salt helps to bring out the moisture, so be generous. This will take about 30-40 minutes, be patient. Don't go adding maple syrup or some shit, let Mother Nature's sweetness shine!
Once your eggplant is roasted, remove from your oven and crank up the heat to 450 degrees.
Place your crust onto a clean counter (or on pan if it hasn't been pre cooked) and begin to build your pizza.
Start with the hummus as your sauce, then top with caramelized onions and eggplant. Top with slices of avocado for creamy texture and a few sprinkles of finely chopped cilantro. Garnish with cayenne pepper and bake for 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Notes
Drizzle finished pizza with olive oil or balsamic for extra oomph!!
