Gluten-Free Black Bean Skillet Pizza

 

I have been in the mood lately for pizza,  but I wanted a pizza that wasn’t the traditional kind with pizza sauce.  I wanted one that was hearty, flavorful and loaded with lots of colorful veggies. Check out my Mediterranean Pumpkin Pizza.

I have been disappointed lately while being away from home in finding a pizza place that sells really good gluten-free pizzas. Not to mention how expensive they can be by the time to choose your favorite toppings.

I have found this really great place in Jacksonville that sells pretty good gluten-free vegan pizzas that don’t cost an arm and a leg. My husband found a place in Tampa that served great pizzas, while on a recent business trip.

Basically, the places are few and far apart. My hubby and I pretty much like the same flavors, olives, red onions, tomatoes, artichoke, jalapeno peppers, vegan cheese, pineapple (oh yes!). For a customized gluten-free pizza with those toppings, it can be pretty expensive.

Most of the time our children, pretty much love basic pizza with tomatoes and olives.

If you haven’t noticed as yet, I tend to love foods prepared with lots of vibrant colors.  Personally, I find that when I am eating a variety of colorful foods together in a dish, my taste buds are awakened by the bursts of different flavors and textures.

So I decided to make this Gluten-Free Black Bean Pizza with a gluten-free vegan crust, topped with vegan cheese shreds (I used Daiya),  seasoned black beans, corn kernels and baked in a skillet. After baking, I then added freshly chopped tomatoes, avocados, and spring onions.

Just imagine biting into a slice of this pizza, it is the perfect weeknight dish that the entire family would enjoy. Daevyd enjoyed it very much that he had two slices.

For the crust, I blended a small potato with water then mix it with the dry ingredients to make the dough.
