This vegan green goddess pizza is anything but plain. It’s loaded with hummus, pesto, avocado, spinach, zucchini and toasted sesame seeds.
This vegan green goddess pizza is homemade dough loaded with creamy baked hummus on top of salty and nutty basil pesto, this pizza will awaken your senses and make you glow. Wow, a pizza can really do that? Sure it can! Because it’s not full of processed foods we typically put on pizzas. Fresh avocado, baby spinach leaves and baked shaved zucchinis. Topped with roasted sesame seeds. All the nutrients, healthy fats, proteins and fibers are right there on that lovely golden brown baked flatbread.
If you’re still sceptical, let me tell you I also made a pizza for my husband. Just like he likes it – cheese and everything (he is an omnivore). He kept glancing into my plate, until he finally gathered the courage to ask for a piece of my pizza. Well he ended up eating half of it, leaving his aside. He said this pizza is next level. I think David would agree as he is not usually a huge pizza fan, but he ate two slices with extra hummus on top. I think we need to make some again soon. Also because I actually didn’t get much of it in the end. 
I’m gonna leave you now with these words and photos. If you decide it’s worth a try (I can tell you it totally is!), leave me a comment, tag me in your photos on Instagram (@dearkitchen).

Green Goddess Pizza
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: Serves 4
- Diet: Vegan
Description
Vegan pizza with vibrant green toppings. Hummus, pesto, avocado, and more!
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp basil pesto
- 4-5 tbsp hummus
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) zucchini
- 4 dried tomatoes in oil
- a handfull of fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1 - 2 avocados
- 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Dough
- Assembly
- Heat the oven to 230°C (446°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 4 smaller balls and form a heart-shaped pizza crust from each, placing them on the baking sheets—two on each.
- Assemble the pizzas: Spread basil pesto over each pizza, add a few teaspoons of hummus to each, and sprinkle with chopped dried tomatoes.
- Shave the zucchini with a peeler and place a few pieces on each pizza.
- Bake one sheet at a time for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges.
- Leave to cool for a few minutes, then garnish with spinach leaves, sliced avocado, and sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately. The pizza is also very tasty when cold, but reheating is not recommended.
Notes
- For a creamier pizza, use full-fat hummus and ripe avocados.
- To prevent soggy crusts, pre-bake the crusts for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheating is not recommended, enjoy cold!
