Vegan Harvest Pizza with Cashew Cheese
Pizza is one of those magical foods that you really can’t go wrong with. Lately I’ve been having fun getting creative with different pizza recipes- hummus pizza, pad thai pizza and lots of other weird-but-good combos!
On a day last week when it was just starting to feel like fall, I decided to make roasted vegetables pizza! Today’s Vegan Harvest Pizza features one of my favorite fall veggies, kabocha squash, and a whole bunch of other autumnal goodness.
I decided to switch things up and use this cashew cheese on top but feel free to go with a more melty vegan cheese like this. The recipe calls for kale, which I decided to lightly wilt before adding it to the pizza by sautéing it in a small pan for just a minute or two.
