If you want less heat, you can always add less jalapeño.

Lentil Pizza ~ Gluten Free & Vegan

Lentil Pizza ~ Gluten Free & Vegan

Gluten free and vegan foodies unite! I created a masterpiece.

Lentil pizza… I know some of you are thinking, what the heck is that?

Guys I’m a pizza lover and being gluten and dairy free has made eating pizza pretty difficult.

Like all my other recipes I was on a mission to create a crunchy, chewy and flavorful crust that was gluten and dairy free. My husband loves it, which is huge! No only does he love it, he requests it all the time.

I even made these for my in laws, which was scary because they are pretty picky/particular about their food. They LOVED it and so did Joe’s sister. It took a lot of practice to get the perfect flavor and texture. Enjoy guys, you deserve it!

Lentil Pizza (Gluten Free & Vegan)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 garlic clove (peeled, but not pressed)
  • 1 tablespoon Sicilian spices or oregano
  • 1 cup + of sauce (depends how much you like on your pizza)
  • optional toppings: 1/4 cup spinach, 1/4 pepper, 1/2 broccoli crown, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, & black olives
  • optional cheese as a topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. (optional)
  2. In a blender add 1 cup lentils, 1/2 cup water, 1 tsp salt, 1 tablespoon spices and 1 garlic clove.
  3. Turn on blender for about 1 minute. (You should hardly see the round lentils)
  4. Add the other 1/2 cup water to the mix and blend for another 1-1.5 minutes.
  5. On an electric skillet turn heat to 350 and add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the middle.
  6. Drop 1 large serving spoon size onto the skillet (or more, depending on how large you want the pizzas)
  7. Spread the mixture out with 1/2 inch or less in thickness. Smooth into a round pizza shape, let it cook for 1 minute on this side.
  8. Take the pan and tilt the oil around to the edges, add a teaspoon more if needed.
  9. Take a spatula and slowly go around the edges and flip.
  10. Add 1 teaspoon oil if needed and cook for another 1-1.5 minutes.
  11. Place a paper towel on the plate and drop crust on the plate.
  12. Add sauce and toppings to the pizza. (I pre chop and sauté my veggies so they are already cooked and ready to go.)
  13. Place on the rack in the oven for 2-4 minutes to further crisp the crust (optional)
  14. Remove from oven, cut with pizza slicer and serve.
  15. ENJOY!

3 Ingredient Fudgsicles – Vegan & Gluten Free

Special thank you to Naturally More for sponsoring this post. As always all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

It doesn’t matter if it’s the summer or middle of the winter, my family LOVES popsicles! I felt like it was time to try something new so I decided to whip up a delicious chilly treat made with our favorite hazelnut and chocolate spread from Naturally More (& it’s perfect for all my gluten free and plant based diet homies).

If you are wondering…the Naturally More products are gluten free, dairy free, vegan, non-GMO and have no trans fat.

I’m newly trying out plant based eating to see if it will help my arthritis. So far it really has. I’m amazed! I cut out diary and gluten prior to this due to my IBS and also noticed by dropping those things my anxiety level significantly reduced. So why not cut out more food to see if I feel better, right?

Anyway, I think you will LOVE these vegan & gluten free fudgsicles. Plus they are so easy to make.
