Let’s Get Cooking!

Ready to bring your Vegan Kale and Mushroom Pizza to life? Here’s how we do it:

Preheat the Oven : Preheat your oven according to the instructions for your pizza crust; usually, it’s around 475°F, but check the package!
Sauté the Aromatics : In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add your minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Oh, the smell is so inviting already!
Cook the Mushrooms : Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft, stirring occasionally about 3-5 minutes. You want them nice and golden, scraping the yummy bits off the bottom of the pan for added flavor!
Add the Greens : Now toss in that chopped kale along with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is wilted, this should take about 2-3 minutes. It’s a beautiful thing, watching the greens shrink down and change color!
Spread the Mixture : Now, take your delicious mushroom and kale mix and spread it over your prepared pizza crust. Look at that vibrant color!
Top with Vegan Cheese : If you’re using vegan cheese, sprinkle it generously over the top, feeling free to get a little extra cheesy if you’d like!
Bake It Up : Pop the pizza in the oven and bake according to your crust’s instructions (generally about 12-15 minutes) or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Slice and Serve : Slice up your pizza fresh from the oven and serve warm. Trust me, you’ll want to dive right in!

Serving Suggestions

What to Serve with This

This Vegan Kale and Mushroom Pizza is fabulous all on its own, but if you want to make it a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a fresh green salad or a bowl of soup. I often whip up a quick side salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette, and it complements the pizza beautifully!

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. That’s the good news!

Reheating

To reheat, simply pop the pizza back in a hot oven for a few minutes until warmed throughout. You can also use an air fryer! Just a couple of minutes at 350°F, and you’ve got an amazing reheated slice!

Freezer Friendly

Yes! You can freeze this pizza. Just let it cool completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and then in aluminum foil. It’ll keep well for about 2 months. To reheat directly from frozen, bake at 425°F for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
