The recipe takes about 25-30 minutes until it’s ready but only about 10 minutes prep time.
If you like pizza just as much as I do, this is for you! It’s a really savory and delicious pizza spread! And it’s even healthy, completely whole foods plant-based! This way you can eat pizza on your bread in the morning for breakfast or at any other point of the day! Or use it as a dip some veggies as a snack! Who doesn’t like that?!
You can also make this recipe in a bigger batch for meal prep. Stores well in the fridge for a couple of days and I’m pretty sure you can also freeze it very well. Only our batch was gone to quickly to even try freezing some hehe. Well let’s get to the recipe!
Ingredients:
- 4 tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- A pinch of salt
- 50g sunflower seeds, toasted
- 100g cooked chickpeas
- 1 tsp. black or mixed pepper, crushed
- 1 tsp. Sweet paprika powder
- 2 tsp. Dried Herbs de Provence
- A pinch of chili flakes
- 4 twigs of basil
- 3-4 Kalamata olives, pitted (optional)
- 2-3 dates, pitted and soaked in (hot) water
- 4 tbsp. Nutritional yeast
Directions:
- Well first of all, there are 2 ways of to prep your vegetables, either using the oven or in a pan. In a pan might be a little bit quicker.
- If you use a oven, preheat it to 200°C or 400°F. Then wash your tomatoes, peel the onion and garlic, cut the tomatoes in half and the onion in quarters. Add them together in a oven safe dish and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
- If you use a (non-stick) pan, wash your tomatoes, peel the onion and garlic and thop them all up roughly and add to your pan. You usually won’t need oil because the juice from the tomatoes will prevent it from burning. Cook it on medium high heat while stirring every now and then until also the onion and garlic are nice and tender. Don’t let it cook dry.
- Meanwhile in a little dry pan, toast the sunflower seeds on medium high heat until they become lightly golden. Stir it up a few times and keep an eye on them because they can burn quickly.
- When the veggies and sunflower seeds are ready, let them cool off a little if your blender can’t handle heat. This is also the case with those little personal blenders with the closed cups. Blending hot things then will create a lot of pressure and that can get quite tricky and messy quickly… talking from experience hehe.
- Lastly add all ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth. Use it as a spread on bread or as a dip for some veggies or however you like. Enjoy!
