gluten free pizza

We tend to crave pizza in the summertime when the bounty of fresh vegetables is at its peak. However, we happen to think that gluten free pizza is always in season… even when it’s cold out. In fact, there are many hearty vegetables widely available through the winter months guaranteed to take your pie to new unchartered territories! So, skip the delivery and make your own winter pizzas at home, we have a few ideas to help you do just that.

Winter Inspired Gluten Free Pizza Topping Ideas

Sweet Potato and Kale

This Epicurious-inspired recipe is health food gone great. With a sweet potato sauce, kale, Parmesan, goat cheese and walnut toppings, it’s one pie you’ll never feel guilty about eating!

To get the sweet potato sauce, boil a large pot of water and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and let cool 5 minutes. In a food processor, pulse potato, 1 tablespoon oil, red pepper and a pinch of salt until sauce is smooth.

Spread potato sauce evenly over gluten free pizza crust. Toss kale in remaining bit of oil, then top the pizza crust with goat cheese, kale, and Parmesan. Bake on a pan, or directly on the rack until cheeses melt together, sprinkling on walnuts in final 2 minutes.

Beets, Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onions

It’s the red beets and caramelized onions that make this pizza naturally sweet. Adding a sour goat cheese really balances the flavors, and placing the gluten free pizza crust directly on the rack will give it a nice all around crunch. For a little extra punch use a pesto base.

The peppery flavor of lemon arugula combined with the slight saltiness of the prosciutto and creaminess of the mozzarella makes this “salad” pizza a real refreshing winter treat. We’d recommend this topping on our gluten free cheese pizza.
