A smoky, salty, sweet, and savory pizza perfect for fall! Topped with smoked paprika mushrooms, sweet apple, fried sage, and vegan ricotta!

Ingredients

  • your favorite pizza dough (I used this recipe)*
  • 1 batch Vegan Cashew Ricotta (without basil)
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided (plus more for the dough)
  • 10-12 fresh sage leaves
  • 10 oz. baby bella mushrooms, sliced thick
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • salt + pepper
  • 1 sweet apple, sliced thin (I used fuji)**
  • drizzle of honey, optional [not vegan]

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add your sage leaves and fry until crispy, using tongs to flip the leaves if necessary. Remove the leaves with tongs and place them on a paper towel to drain. Sprinkle with salt.
  2. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Add your mushrooms and smoked paprika, and sauté for 5 minutes. You want them to be slightly caramelized but not totally 100% cooked (they’ll finish cooking in the oven). Salt and pepper your mushrooms after they’re cooked and remove from the heat.
  3. Assemble your pizza: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet with olive oil. Spread your pizza dough out on the oiled baking sheet.
  4. Spread your dough with the cashew ricotta, leaving a bit of room around the outside for the crust. Top with your apple slices, cooked mushrooms, and fried sage. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil (this will help the crust brown), and bake for 20 minutes.
  5. Drizzle with honey before serving if desired!

Notes

*Use gluten free dough if necessary! If you’re using a gluten free crust mix, you should probably follow the instructions on the box/bag rather than my baking instructions.

**If you cut your apple a bit before you’re ready to assemble everything, throw the apple slices in a bowl of water and squeeze some lemon juice over the top to prevent browning.
