Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure a crispy crust.
- In a medium bowl, mix mashed potatoes with garlic powder and olive oil until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the pre-made pizza crust by lightly brushing the surface with olive oil to help prevent sogginess.
- Spread the seasoned mashed potato mixture evenly across the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the mashed potato layer, ensuring consistent coverage.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the vegan cheese is melted and slightly bubbling.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set.
- Garnish with fresh chopped herbs like basil, parsley, or chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Preheat for Perfection: Always preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to achieve that perfect crispy crust. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating for an extra crunch.
- Smooth Mashed Potatoes: For the best texture, ensure your mashed potatoes are creamy and well-seasoned. Adding garlic powder and olive oil not only enhances flavor but also helps to create a delightful spread.
- Prevent Sogginess: Lightly brushing the pizza crust with olive oil before adding the mashed potatoes can help keep the crust from getting soggy.
- Even Cheese Distribution: When sprinkling the vegan mozzarella, aim for even coverage to ensure every bite is cheesy and delicious.
- Watch the Clock: Keep an eye on your pizza as it bakes! Cooking times can vary, so look for a golden brown crust and bubbling cheese to know when it’s ready.
- Garnish for Flavor: Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or chives not only add a pop of color but also enhance the overall flavor profile of your pizza.
- Serve Hot: For the best experience, serve the pizza immediately after slicing while it’s still hot and crispy to enjoy the full flavor and texture.
