How To Make Pizzas with Rotis
Other than the obvious use of rotis with a saucy curry, it is ALSO great to use as a pizza base. Not only does these mini rotis make an incredibly versatile crispy base for almost any topping, it is also great to make tacos. Very versatile indeed! You can bulk up on these as they last pretty long in a freezer too. Win!
All you need is a few mini rotis, a spread of homemade tomato sauce, delicious roasted veggies and a few slices of fresh mozzarella to make these Mini Veggie Pizzas. Simply place the rotis in a hot oven for a minute to crisp up a little before you add the toppings. Then pop it back in the oven to melt the cheese to perfection.
What kind of Vegetables are good for a Veggie Pizza
I often use whatever veggies I have on the day as I really dislike wasting much. First get your onion ready to make a quick caramelised onion relish. Next roast the broccoli and cauliflower, sliced carrots and pumpkin with fresh rosemary and thyme. Any leftover roasted veggies works great for this Veggie Mini Pizzas too. Top it with a few slices of fresh mozzarella or plant based cheese.
Homemade Tomato Sauce Base for Pizza
You simply cannot make a homemade pizza without a good base of spicy tomato sauce. This version is made from scratch using clean, whole ingredients. The best way to live! Furthermore, this homemade tomato sauce is packed with hidden veggies that no one would ever know of! Simply roast an array of fresh tomatoes with garlic, celery, carrots, zucchini and onion.
