  • Yield: About 4 servings 1x
  • Category: Pizza
  • Method: Baked
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup cooked chickpeas (or half a can)
  • 1/8 cup buffalo wing hot sauce
  • 1 12-inch crunchy thin pizza crust (recipe here or use this gluten free version)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo hummus (recipe here)
  • About 1 cup fresh baby spinach (or baby kale)
  • 1 large stalk celery, sliced
  • 1 mini sweet pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 23 Tablespoons chopped red onion
  • About 4 oz. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese or vegan shreds
  • About 2 Tablespoons blue cheese crumbles or vegan blue cheese (optional) 
  • Ranch (or blue cheese) dressing, for drizzling (see vegan options above for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, toss together the chickpeas with the buffalo sauce. 
  2. Prep the pizza crust as directed, then spread the crust with a good layer of buffalo hummus. Spread a layer of baby spinach over the hummus, then top with the chickpeas, celery, pepper, and onion. Add a sprinkle of cheese (if using), then if you still have any veggies or chickpeas left, make a second layer. Cover with the rest of the cheese and a sprinkle of the blue cheese (if using).
  3. Bake at 450 F. for about 10 – 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and everything is good and hot. Remove from oven, drizzle with dressing, then slice and serve!
