Veggie Burger Pizza
with pickles / mustard drizzle / baby carrots
Tonight's pizza is a fusion of two classic comfort foods. Topped with seasoned black beans, cheddar cheese, and burger garnishes, it's a meal that both pizza and veggie burger lovers will enjoy.

Make
-
Heat oven to 425 F / 218 C degrees.
-
Heat a saute pan with cooking oil (portion for pizza) over medium heat. Add beans, garlic powder, and onion powder to heated oil and saute until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and season to taste with some salt and pepper.
-
Arrange naan in a single layer on a sheet pan (use two pans if necessary). Spread sauce in an even layer over naan and top with half of the cheese.
-
Top each pizza with beans, onions, pickles, and remaining cheese, taking care not to pile the toppings too high (too many toppings will result in soggy, undercooked pizza.)
-
Bake the pizzas for 8 to 12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling.
-
Remove pizzas from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute or two before slicing. Drizzle pizzas with some extra mustard if desired and top with lettuce and tomatoes.
-
Serve pizza slices with baby carrots on the side. Enjoy!
