Equipment

Ingredients

1 ball of pizza dough or a store-bought pizza crust
½ block of extra firm tofu pressed and diced
½ of a tomato seeded
1 cup of baby spinach
¼ cup of diced pineapple
¼ cup of BBQ sauce
1 Tablespoon of Cajun seasoning

Instructions

Pre heat oven according to directions of pizza dough.
Toss diced tofu in a bowl with Cajun seasoning.
Cook tofu in a non stick pan for 5-7 minutes.
Spread BBQ sauce over the pizza dough.
Next top in this order: spinach, tofu, pineapples, tomatoes.
Drizzle top of pizza with more BBQ sauce.
Place in oven and cook for according to dough directions.

Notes

Ensure the dough isn’t too thick: If you’re using dough rather than a par-baked crust, make sure that you shape it nice and thin (¼-inch maximum) so it crisps up in the oven.
Experiment with toppings: There are many ways to adapt this recipe to your liking. Adjust the crust, base, toppings, etc. I’ve included a list of possibilities.
Distribute the toppings evenly: That way, you won’t end up with any softer, ‘wet’ patches or dull, empty patches. It’s also important not to overload the veggie BBQ pizza with toppings, or it may not cook through properly.
If you have a pizza stone, use it: This will help achieve a super crispy base.
To reduce carbs: Experiment with low-carb pizza crusts like a cauliflower pizza crust.
For more BBQ flavor: Marinate the tofu in BBQ sauce, too, for a more traditional ‘BBQ chickn’ style topping, rather than the Cajun spices.
For a soy-free vegan pizza recipe: Substitute the tofu for shredded jackfruit, chickpeas, or more veggies like cauliflower (either seasoned with the Cajun seasoning or tossed with BBQ sauce).
