unreal healthy plant-based gluten-free broccoli pizzas

if you’re craving pizza but want something lighter, healthier, and still super satisfying, these unreal healthy plant-based broccoli pizzas are your new go-to!!

i am seriously in awe!

not only are they packed with flavor, but they’re also sturdy enough to hold all your favorite toppings without falling apart—something that’s not easy to find in a plant-based pizza crust!

taste and texture:

these broccoli pizzas are a delicious blend of savory and slightly nutty flavors, thanks to the combination of chickpea flour, tahini, and italian seasoning.

the broccoli adds a subtle earthiness that pairs perfectly with the garlic and onion powders.

the crust itself is firm yet tender, offering a satisfying bite that stands up to whatever toppings you choose.

you’ll be surprised at how sturdy these little pizzas are—they hold together beautifully without being dry or crumbly.

after baking the pizzas, it’s important to let them “set” for 10-15 minutes because they become even sturdier :)!

nutritional benefits:

this recipe is not only plant-based but also gluten-free and packed with nutrients.

broccoli is a powerhouse of vitamins c and k, fiber, and antioxidants, while chickpea flour adds a boost of protein and iron.

the tahini provides some healthy fats and even more protein, making this pizza crust a well-rounded option for those looking to enjoy a healthier version of a favorite comfort food.

amazingly sturdy pizza:

one of the best things about this recipe is how sturdy the crusts turn out.

often, veggie-based crusts can be very flimsy, but the combination of finely pulsed raw broccoli, chickpea flour, arrowroot starch, and tahini creates a dough that holds together incredibly well.

the addition of vegetable stock helps bind everything while keeping the crust moist, and baking it at 400 degrees gives it a perfectly crisp edge.

this recipe will yield 4 personal-sized pizzas. you can make one large one, but baking time will differ and the center may not become as sturdy, so i recommend individual ones!

how to make the crusts:

making these broccoli pizzas is simple and straightforward!

after very finely pulsing the raw broccoli in a food processor, mix it with chickpea flour, arrowroot flour, tahini, and seasonings.

the vegetable stock is then added to create a thick, sticky dough.

form the dough into four smaller pizza crusts and bake for 15 minutes until they start to firm up.

remove and add your favorite toppings—like vegan mozzarella and marinara sauce—then bake for another 15 minutes until the toppings are melty and the crust is golden.

topping options:

you can get creative with your toppings for these pizzas.

i went with classic vegan mozzarella and marinara sauce, which gave the perfect balance of creamy, cheesy goodness with a rich tomato flavor.

other great options include:

• sautéed mushrooms and spinach with a drizzle of balsamic glaze
• vegan pesto, cherry tomatoes, and artichoke hearts
• spicy marinara with vegan sausage and fresh basil

how to store:

if you have any leftovers, these broccoli pizzas store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.

just let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container.

to reheat, pop them back in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy again.

you can also freeze the baked crusts without toppings for up to a month.

just thaw and add your toppings before the final bake.

these unreal healthy plant-based broccoli pizzas are a perfect way to enjoy pizza night with plants.

they’re flavorful, packed with nutrients, and hold up like a dream under all your favorite toppings. give them a try, and you will find yourself reaching for seconds!
