CAJUN-SPICED VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the drained chickpeas and the butternut pieces on a tinfoil-lined roasting tray. Coat in oil and the NOMU rub. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crisping up, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
SWEEEET CARAMELISED, BUH, BUH, BUH!
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft and caramelised, 7-9 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener (to taste). Remove from the pan, cover, and set aside.
TIME TO ASSEMBLE YOUR PIZZA
When the veg has finished roasting, remove the pizza base from the freezer. Sprinkle over the grated cheese. Top with the caramelised onion, the roasted butternut, and the crispy chickpeas. Slide directly onto the oven rack and bake until the cheese is melted and golden, and the base is crispy, 6-9 minutes.
FINISH THE TOPPINGS
Season the crème fraîche and set aside. Toss the rinsed green leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Loosen the chimichurri with olive oil in 10ml increments until drizzling consistency.
IT’S CRUNCH TIME!
Place the crispy pizza on a board or plate. Dollop over the crème fraîche and drizzle over the chimichurri. Scatter over the dressed green leaves. Finish off with a crack of black pepper. Grab a slice, Chef!
