Potato Pizzas Ingredients (use vegan versions): 2 large baking potatoes
olive oil
1/2 medium onion
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 small zucchini
1 small can black olives
1/2 red pepper
handful of mushrooms
fresh basil
nutritional yeast parmesan
Pizza Sauce:
1 can tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/8 teaspoon fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
Nutritional Yeast Parmesan:
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 cup sesame seeds (roasted add a nice flavor)
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:Clean potatoes well and leave the peels on. Slice each potato three times the long way to make crusts (the middle slice should be slightly thicker than the outside portions). If you want the outside portions flatter, trim the hump off the bottom.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat a baking pan with oil and place sliced potatoes about a finger length apart. Bake without turning for 40 minutes (can also do in toaster oven if making single portion).
While potatoes are cooking, make the pizza sauce. Add tomato sauce to small saucepan and place on medium-low heat. Combine all the seasonings and simmer until very warm and flavors have distributed throughout tomato sauce.
For the nutritional yeast parmesan, combine all ingredients into a blender or processor until parmesan consistency. Can store in refrigerator for several months. Use on potato pizzas, garlic breadsticks or pasta. Makes about a spice shaker worth.
When potatoes are finished, spoon desired amount of pizza sauce onto each potato. Place basil leaves above pizza sauce but under vegetables. Top with remaining raw vegetables and sprinkle with nutritional yeast parmesan.
For a more pizza-like cooked taste, remove potatoes from oven at 30 minutes. Add sauce and other ingredients and continue cooking for the remaining 10 minutes. This will warm the vegetables nicely.
