Perfect Pizza Toppings for Vegetarians

/in /by

Pizza is a crowd favourite, loved by all ages and by vegans, vegetarians and meat-lovers alike. If you’re running out of vegetarian topping ideas, then we have you covered with perfect pizza toppings for vegetarians.

Mushrooms

These might be the ultimate veggie pizza topping. They’re meaty, flavourful and pair well with cheese and sauce. The key with mushrooms is to cook them before you add them to your pizza and adding garlic doesn’t hurt either!

Pesto

For a more Greek-inspired pizza, try using pesto instead of tomato sauce. It’s especially good with Greek olives and chopped artichoke hearts.

Grilled Eggplant

Grilling slices of eggplant before adding them to your pizza makes them tender and adds a smoky flavor top your pizza toppings. Top with fresh basil for an extra something special.

Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Sun-dried tomatoes are packed with flavor and add a new level to any kind of pizza. Pair them with like-minded toppings such as feta cheese, spinach, and olives. You can’t go wrong!

Marinated Roasted Bell Peppers

Roast, peel and marinade your favourite bell peppers to make a delicious vegetarian pizza topping. If you want something with a crunch, you can choose to keep your peppers raw, thinly slice them and add them to your pizza base.

Figs

This one might shock you, but figs make for a surprisingly good pizza topping, especially when combined with a sharp cheese like Manchego or Parmesan. Add some fresh rocket once your pizza has cooked for a flavour sensation.

Asparagus

For a springy, fresh pizza, grill some asparagus stems for pizza toppings. This veggie pairs really well with goats’ cheese and a sprinkle of chili flakes.

For the perfect pizza bases to use for your homemade pizzas, try our Anat bases, available at selected supermarkets throughout the country. Why not Make It Your Way at home?

Stir occasionally for about 3-4 minutes until your onions are translucent. 4. You are now ready to add your chicken. Once added, stir and sauté this for about 2-3 more minutes.
