Ingredients

Scale

For the pizza crust:

  • 3/4 cup uncooked quinoa, soaked in water for 8 hours
  • 1/4 cup aquafaba (juice from cooking beans … or water)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Toppings:

  • 1/22/3 cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • About 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Other toppings as desired

Instructions

  1. Put the quinoa in a bowl or jar and cover with water so there’s at least 1 inch of water over the quinoa. Let the quinoa soak in the water for 8 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Strain the remaining water from the quinoa and rinse.
  3. Put the quinoa and the rest of the crust ingredients in a small blender cup and blend until smooth.
  4. Line a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper, then spray with avocado oil. Pour the “batter” out onto the parchment paper and use a spatula to smooth it out until it covers the bottom of the pan or is 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then flip and bake for 10 – 15 more minutes, until browned.
  6. Remove from oven and cover with sauce, cheese and any other toppings you like. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, then remove from oven, slice and enjoy!
