Ingredients

Scale

Cashew Ricotta:

Pizza:


Instructions

  1. Prepare cashew ricotta by placing cashews in a small bowl and covering with boiling water. Set aside for 15 minutes to soak. Drain water, place in the container of a blender or food processor, and add lemon juice, plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, salt (optional), and white pepper. Process a few seconds, just until it’s blended, but has some graininess to the texture. Remove and set aside. Note: while the cashews are soaking, prepare the other ingredients; alternatively save time by soaking the cashews in cold water 3 hours or overnight in advance.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  3. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet and brush the surface of each flatbread with 1/2 teaspoon of the extra virgin olive oil.
  4. Spoon cashew ricotta (about ¼ cup per pizza) over each flatbread to create small dollops of cashew ricotta.
  5. Arrange the sliced cantaloupe (1/3 cup per pizza) over the surface of each flatbread.
  6. Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds (1/2 tablespoon per pizza) over the surface of each flatbread.
  7. Drizzle balsamic vinegar (1 teaspoon per pizza) over the surface of each flatbread.
  8. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and course salt (optional), as desired.
  9. Place baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until bread is slightly browned.
  10. Remove from oven.
  11. Toss chopped kale with remaining olive oil and arrange (1/4 cup per pizza) over flatbread pizza.
  12. Arrange fresh basil leaves (1 tablespoon per pizza) over flatbread pizza.
  13. Slice each flatbread pizza into 4 pieces, and serve. Makes 4 servings (1 flatbread pizza; 4 slices each).
