Vegan caprese naan pizzas this …

We’ve finally reached peak summer produce season in Illinois and I could not be more excited. Our local farmers’ market opened again with extra COVID-19 precautions in place and I was more than happy to mask up to get my hands on fresh heirloom tomatoes. Those tomatoes are the star of the show in these vegan caprese naan pizzas.

Ingredients You’ll Need for Vegan Caprese Naan Pizzas

These naan pizzas are super simple to whip up since they rely on some store-bought ingredients like vegan pesto. Sometimes, I just want a really easy meal that I can throw together in a few minutes and these naan pizzas are exactly that.

  • 4 naan bread pieces: Some naan may include ghee so double check to make sure whatever brand you pick up in the store if vegan. You can also use flatbread or put it all on a single pizza crust.
  • Vegan pesto: We love the vegan pesto from Gotham Greens.
  • Heirloom tomatoes: Splurge and get the fancy tomatoes for this pizza – it is so worth it!
  • Vegan parmesan: VioLife brand parmesan cheese is where it’s at!
  • Vegan mozzarella: There are a bunch of tasty vegan mozzarellas in the store. For these, I like using the smoked mozzarella from Miyokos.
  • Italian seasoning
  • Garlic

Tips for making these Vegan Tomato and Pesto Naan Pizzas

There’s not much to it! Assemble your pizzas and bake them on a baking sheet at 400 degrees until golden brown. I have also had success baking them one at a time in a toaster oven. We haven’t tried it out on the grill yet, but that’s next!

Pre-bake your naan for 3-4 minutes before adding the toppings and baking until the cheese is melted for an extra crispy crust.
