Broccoli Lovers Pizza

Posted bygardenofeatzPosted inUncategorized

This is one of my favorite recipes and most simple! For someone who absolutely loathed broccoli until her sophomore year in college, I understand the hesitation. Luckily, I’ve created a way to disguise the plain, wet, and crunchy taste of plain broccoli, and turn it into a pretty good substitution for a barbecue chicken pizza from Dominoes. Enjoy my recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Broccoli and kale crust (affordable and high quality offered at Trader Joe’s)
  • 1 bag of Broccolini
  • 1 cup Broccoli
  • Pesto sauce (I would suggest the vegan, kale, cashew, and basil pesto sauce available at Trader Joe’s)
  • Barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup Feta cheese
  • 2 Chicken apple sausage
  • 2 cups Spinach
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic
  • 1/4 cup Onion
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

To start, I would suggest laying all of you ingredients out on an open counter area where they can easily be found. Wash all produce! Take the frozen crust out of its packaging and place on a pizza board- let this sit for about five minutes. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Cooking and cutting instructions:

  • Remove 4 large pieces of broccolini and cut the flowers off. Set these aside for later.
  • Cut the ends off of 1 cup of broccoli and dice into small circles. Set aside.
  • Place pizza in the oven once preheated to 450 degrees. Set a timer for 10-12 minutes.
  • Obtain two chicken apple sausages and cut horizontally into half. Cut each of those halves in half. Dice vertically. Set aside.
  • Dice onion until very fine.
  • Once your timer has ended, remove pizza crust and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Spread pesto across the entire crust.
  • Drizzle (recommended) or spread barbecue sauce on top of pesto.
  • Scatter broccolini flowers and broccoli onto crust.
  • Next, spread chicken apple sausage pieces onto crust evenly.
  • Place spinach around the outer ends (right before the biggest part of the crust).
  • Sprinkle feta evenly.
  • Sprinkle garlic evenly.
  • Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Place entire pizza with toppings back into the oven and cook for 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove pizza and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • Slice and enjoy!
