Vegan Butternut Base Veggie Pizza

16 February 2016

What would a weekend night in be without pizza and a good movie right?! I get it – you don’t want to give up your favourite rituals and favourite foods – and trust me you don’t have to. You can still have pizza, all we are doing is swapping some key ingredients to make this pizza healthy, nourishing and guilt-free! And no it doesn’t always have to be made using cauliflower! This recipe uses butternut instead, which I absolutely love because of its natural sweetness. Yummy! Ooh and no eggs in this one either so completely vegan friendly too! Then of course we load this baby up with stacks of delicious veggies to pack in those vitamins, minerals and antioxidants! So go on get your movie, and prep your pizza for the perfect night in!
