INGREDIENT NOTES:
EGGPLANT:

TOMATO SAUCE:
- Adding this sauce will give flavor to your eggplant pizzas. Also, your recipe will get moisture from adding this. Make a sauce yourself at home and use it for substitution.
VEGAN CHEESE:
- For the topping, we will use cheese so the pizzas become cheesy. This will melt and give you a good cheese taste as well. You need to utilize vegan cheese in this snack recipe. An alternative for this can be using nutritional yeast.
MUSHROOMS AND BELL PEPPERS:
- You will use these so they give a color to the topping. Also, these will give a good texture to your eggplant pizzas. You may also add olives or tomatoes as substitutes.
OLIVE OIL:
- Oil will help in roasting your eggplant when you put it in the oven. Use sunflower oil as an alternative for this as well.

- Garlic powder will help boost the flavor of your recipe. Dried oregano will improve the pizza’s taste. You may use fresh herbs for substitution as well.
