Does hummus pizza sound weird to you? Totally understandable! It’s actually delicious though. Hummus, while not a traditional pizza topper, somehow manages to satisfy the need for both creamy, savory, salty flavor that you’d normally get from cheese, as well as saucy, garlicky qualities you’d normally seek in tomato sauce. And in this particular pizza, it makes a great base for embedding lots of delicious roasted veggies. The process for making this pie is simple: bake the crust and roast some vegetables, then slather that crust with hummus, and top it with your roasted veggies. We’ll go over it in more detail below, but it’s really that simple. Tip: Feel free to switch up the vegetables with your favorites or what you have on hand. Cauliflower, eggplant, carrots, and Brussels sprouts would all work well.
How It’s Made
The following is a detailed photo tutorial on how to make this dish. Scroll all the way down if you’d like to skip right to the recipe! Tip: Try to create a bit of a lip around the edges of the pizza crust. In pizzas that bake with the toppings on them this will happen naturally, but since we are baking without toppings here we might need to help things along. Tip: Feel free to warm up the hummus while the pizza bakes. Warm hummus is extra delicious on pizza! Just be forewarned that this will make eating the pizza an extra messy process (rest assured, it’s already messy). To reheat it, I recommend preheating a baking sheet in a 400°F oven. Meanwhile, microwave the slices just until they’re about at room temperature to warm (this isn’t fussy). Once the oven is hot, place them directly on the hot baking sheet and bake them for about five minutes, until heated and crispy on the bottom.
