Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cauliflower pizza crust trader joe's, premade from frozen section
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper sliced
  • 1/4 cup sweet onion sliced
  • 1/4 cup shitake mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup crimini mushrooms sliced
  • 1/4 cup vegan pesto
  • 1/2 cup plant based cheese dairy free/vegan cheese
  • salt and pepper as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Remove the crust from the box and plastic and let it sit out for a few minutes. In a large saute pan over medium low heat, add the olive oil. When ready, add the red bell peppers, onion and sliced mushrooms. Let cook for a couple of minutes and then turn the heat down to low. 
  • Continue to cook until onions and peppers start to sweat, about 8-10 minutes. Season with a dash of salt and pepper. When done, set it aside.
  • Place the crust on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the pesto over the top. Then spread the veggies on top. Finish off by sprinkling the cheese.
  • Put in the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese melts and the edges of the pizza are golden. Gently move to a cooling rack and let sit for a few minutes. Enjoy warm

Notes

Notes:
Storing instructions:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.  Reheat the pizza in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 5 minutes or microwave for one minute.
Helpful tips:
My oven runs hot so I chose 400 degrees F to bake the pizza. The instructions on the box say 425 degrees so its up to you to choose what temp will work best for your oven. 
Baking on a sheet pan is great but using a pizza crisper pan will result in a crispier crust.
