Instructions
1-Okay, friends, let’s get cooking! I always say the key to a great spinach artichoke vegan pizza is taking it one step at a time, and this recipe is super straightforward. Start by preheating your oven to 500°F and placing a pizza stone on the bottom rack for about 30 minutes that’s my go-to trick for a crispy crust that’ll wow you!
2-Next, whip up that dreamy artichoke white sauce by blending all the sauce ingredients until they’re smooth and creamy, then season it just right. Roll out your 1 lb of prepared pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface or parchment paper. Now, toss those 3 cups of baby spinach with 1 teaspoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon lemon juice, sea salt, and ground black pepper for a fresh pop of flavor.
3-Spread half the sauce over the dough, layer on the dressed spinach, and drizzle the rest of the sauce on top. Add the sliced shallots and quartered artichoke hearts, then drizzle a bit more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Slide it onto the hot stone and bake for 7 minutes, rotate, and bake another 5 minutes until the crust is golden, the spinach is wilted, and the shallots are soft.
4-Finally, pull it out, sprinkle on some chili flakes and optional vegan parmesan, slice it up, and serve hot! This whole process takes just 25 minutes to prep and 12 minutes to cook, totaling 37 minutes perfect for a quick dinner.
