Sometimes you just don’t feel like eating tomato sauce. I don’t know if it is just that I am getting older, but lately too much of the acid in tomatoes gives me heartburn. So, I came with a white pizza that fits all of my requirements: vegan, gluten-free, no refined sugar and packed with veggies!
The white sauce is simple to make and you don’t have to plan ahead. The ingredients are not complicated. Any vegan kitchen has these things on hand. For this Roasted Veggie White Pizza, I rummaged through my fridge and used some leftover roasted eggplant, red pepper and onion along with kalamata olives, halved grape tomatoes and leeks. The result – YUM! I may never eat pizza with tomato sauce again!
