Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 2 small pizzas

Equipment

  • blender

Ingredients

Pizza “dough” ingredients

  • 1/4 cup/ 50g of split red lentils
  • 1/2 cup/ 125ml of water
  • A couple cracks of sea salt (omit for babies under 12 months)

Toppings

  • 1-2 Tbsp of tomato paste mixed with 1 tsp of Italian herbs
  • 2 Tbsp of broccoli pesto (this is from our ebook, you can use other pesto)
  • 3-4 Tbsp of Diced mixed veggies (we used cooked mushrooms, peppers, and onion)
  • 1-2 Tbsp of finely diced pineapple
  • Tofu stars (these are tofu cut with cookie cutters; finely dice for babies under 12 months)
  • 1/4 cup/ 20g of shredded vegan cheese

Instructions 

  • Soak the lentils with the water for 4 hours or overnight. You can rinse and drain the lentils and replace the drained water with around 1/4 cup of fresh water (or leave and blend in the soaking water).
  • Preheat the oven to 180c/350f. 
  • Pour the lentils into 2 small piles on a baking sheet, then use the back of a measuring cup or spoon and gently spread the mix to create a thinner round pizza shape. 
  • Place in the preheated oven and cook for 12 minutes until they are no longer wet (you will be able to peel them off the baking sheet). 
  • Top with your toppings (we listed ours above) and bake for a further 5 minutes until the cheese has melted. 
  • Slice and serve.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 days, or freeze (with or without toppings for up to 2 months).
