The Mediterranean Hummus Pizza Ingredients

Recipe Variations

• Pesto: Choose your favorite pesto (vegan walnut pesto, parsley pesto with arugula, vegan basil sunflower seed pesto, amazing vocado pesto pasta, etc.). Either mix it into the hummus or drizzle it over the Mediterranean hummus pizza. 
• Garlic: Sauté a little garlic in oil while the crust bakes and then sprinkle over the hummus layer. 
• Herbs: For extra flavor, sprinkle a tiny amount of dried Oregano, Italian seasoning, or other dried herbs over the Mediterranean flatbread pizza OR mix them into the hummus. You can also garnish the pizza with fresh herbs like fresh basil.  Check out this article on how to properly store herbs for ultimate freshness!
• Make it Gluten-Free: By using a gluten-free flatbread or crust.

Other Topping Ideas

• Raw Vegetables: Olives, zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion (if you don’t mind it raw), avocado, corn or peas (frozen), radish, cucumber, etc.
• Cooked vegetables: Mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, broccoli, red onions, asparagus, etc. You could also use leftover roasted veggies like sweet potato, butternut squash (how to roast a butternut squash), sweet and salty Brussels sprouts, etc.
• Vegan Cheese: I know I advertised this as pizza without vegan cheese. But if you have a craving for something cheesy, you could crumble over some vegan feta cheese or even a melty vegan mozzarella.
• Nuts/seeds: To add crunch, sprinkle the vegan Mediterranean pizza with mixed seeds or crushed nuts (sunflower seeds, roasted spicy pumpkin seeds, walnuts, etc.). Pine nuts are also a delicious addition (toast in a pan until fragrant).
• Protein: Make it heartier by topping with vegan sausage crumbles or crispy baked tofu.
• Spice: Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the hummus pizza.
• Oil: You could drizzle the finished pizza with a bit of extra-virgin olive oil.
• Balsamic vinegar: Alternatively, you could use balsamic vinegar/glaze.
• Hummus salad pizza: Top the hummus with lots of leafy greens like arugula, micro greens, pea shoots, and even fresh herbs (parsley). Then top it off with a drizzle of lemon juice and olive oil.

My favorite add ins: If I want a little something extra on my Mediterranean hummus pizza, then I add some red onion, black olives, and a drizzle of pesto to the base ingredients! If you have some in the pantry, a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts is also great (but quite pricey). 

How to Make Pizza Without Cheese?

FAQs

Toni’s Recipe Tips and Notes

• Adjust the amount of hummus used: Based on how thick you want it to be.
• Experiment with the ‘crust: This Mediterranean veggie pizza is super versatile. You can bake regular pizza dough or make a hummus flatbread pizza. You can also use pita bread or naan, or even a tortilla (brushed lightly with oil and heated in a pan until crisp). Use whatever you have to hand, including portobello mushrooms!
• Chop the vegetables into bite–sized pieces: That way, they’ll adhere to the hummus better, and the hummus flatbread pizza will be easier to eat.
• Customize the topping as preferred: There are so many toppings that pair with the hummus topping, so experiment and find your favorite combination.

Storage Instructions

Fridge: This hummus pizza is best enjoyed on the day it’s prepared, if you want to enjoy the warm base and cold toppings. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Note that the base will get soggier over time.

Freezer: You can also freeze the hummus pizza if the veggie toppings are baked (which will help preserve their texture). Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.

For Meal Prep: You can always prepare and store your own pizza bases in the freezer. Likewise, the hummus can be prepared several days in advance. You could even make any roasted vegetable toppings several days in advance. That way, you just need to throw it all together – and voila!
