  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2 cups fresh basil leaf
  • 2 cups arugula
  • ⅓ cup raw walnut
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • pepper, to taste
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 7 slices tomato

Instructions

  • Make the vegan Parmesan cheese: In a food processor, combine the cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the texture is crumbly and resembles Parmesan cheese. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
  • Make the pesto: In a food processor, combine the basil, arugula, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Process until smooth. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Use your hands to stretch the pizza dough into a circle about 14 inches (35 cm) in diameter and ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) thick. Lay on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Spread half of the pesto over the pizza dough in an even layer. Arrange the tomato slices on top. Transfer the pizza on the parchment to a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the edges of the pizza are lightly golden. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle more pesto over the pizza and and sprinkle with vegan Parmesan. Cut into 8 slices and serve.
  • Enjoy!
