  3. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden.
  4. Allow to cool, then top with your favorite oil-free, sugar-free, low/no salt added tomato sauce and sliced/chopped vegetables of your choice.
  5. Put pizza under the broiler for around 5 min until vegetables appear to be cooked. Remove from oven and top with vegan parmesan** Slice, serve and enjoy!
Notes
**Vegan Parmesan: in a food processor fitted with the "S" blade, process 1 cup nutritional yeast, ½ cup walnuts, hemp seeds, or other nuts/seeds of your choice, and 2 Tbs garlic powder until well blended. Store in the refrigerator in a glass jar.
