- 0.5 cup Hummus or white bean spread (for base sauce)
- 1 cup Spinach leaves, fresh
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup Cooked lentils
- 0.5 cup Vegan mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the gluten-free pizza crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza stone.
Spread the hummus or white bean spread evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Layer the spinach leaves over the hummus base.
Evenly distribute the cherry tomatoes, bell pepper slices, red onion slices, and mushrooms on top of the spinach layer.
Sprinkle the cooked lentils evenly across the pizza for an extra boost of plant-based protein.
Add vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the vegetables and lentils.
Sprinkle nutritional yeast across the pizza for a cheesy, umami-packed flavor.
Drizzle olive oil over the top and finish with dried oregano, garlic powder, and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegan cheese is melted and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your High Protein Veggie Delight Pizza!
