Ingredients
For the Pizza Dough:
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Flour, for dusting
For the Toppings:
- 1 cup vegan cheese, shredded (such as dairy-free mozzarella)
- 1 cup mixed grilled vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, red onions), sliced
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- Olive oil, for brushing
For the Sauce (optional):
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into your desired shape and thickness.
- Brush one side of the dough with olive oil and place it directly on the grill grates, oiled side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the dough is set.
- Remove the partially cooked dough from the grill and place it on a flat surface, grilled side up.
- If using sauce, spread it evenly over the grilled side of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded vegan cheese over the sauce, followed by the sliced grilled vegetables.
- Return the topped pizza to the grill and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pizza from the grill and sprinkle chia seeds over the top.
- Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving.
