Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 2 gluten-free pizza bases
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your pizza bases cook evenly and become crispy.
- While the oven is heating, prepare your ingredients. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Using a fork, mash the avocados until smooth. You can leave some chunks for texture if desired. Season the mashed avocado with salt and pepper to taste.
- Take the gluten-free pizza bases and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza stone if you have one.
- Spread an even layer of the mashed avocado over each pizza base, covering it completely.
- Next, scatter the halved cherry tomatoes over the avocado layer, followed by the thinly sliced red onion. Make sure to distribute them evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the top of each pizza. This will help to enhance the flavors and provide a nice golden finish.
- Place the pizzas in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the pizza bases are crispy and golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. This will make them easier to handle.
- Garnish the pizzas with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. You can either sprinkle it on top or serve it on the side.
- Slice the pizzas into wedges and serve immediately while they are warm. Enjoy your speedy vegan gluten-free avocado pizza!
Tips
- Choose ripe avocados that are soft but not mushy for the best creamy spread
- Use a pizza stone if possible for extra crispy crust
- Don't overload your pizza - keep toppings light and evenly distributed
- Fresh cilantro is key for that burst of flavor, so don't skip it
- Let the pizza cool for a minute after baking to help it set and make cutting easier
- For extra crunch, you can lightly toast the pizza bases before adding toppings
- Experiment with additional herbs like basil or chives for variation
- Serve immediately while the crust is still warm and crispy for the best texture
