Pizza night just got at lot more fun with these vegan pepperoni pizza nachos.
Sure, you could just go ahead and make a regular pizza but eating pizza that is also a nacho is sorta just better sometimes.
It’s as easy as cutting up your pizza dough into bite size pieces before baking it up, then loading the pizza “chips” with all your favorite pizza toppings.
We topped ours with the best All Purpose Vegan Cheese Sauce. It is easy to make and works so well for pizza and even better for these nachos. Just drizzle, pour, drowned these nachos in this vegan cheese sauce and pop them back in the oven until the sauce gets gooey, bubbly, perfectly melty mozzarella like….its magic really.
Next top the pizza with whatever toppings you like. We love vegan pepperoni in this house and it is more than easy to make yourself. If you have never made your own vegan pepperoni or other vital wheat gluten based vegan meats, trust me when I tell you, it’s easy. It mixes up fast, bakes rather quickly as well, but it does need time to rest. So if you want pepperoni for dinner, you better get started at breakfast, or just get in the habit of keeping some in the fridge for pizza, cheese and crackers, or even as a salad topper.
We also added some green and black olives, became I love ALL olives, but you can add any veggie you like. Or if you are a family, or friends divided, just sprinkle the toppings you like on your half or quarter of the pan.
These vegan pizza nachos work well for a snack, lunch, dinner, or even party appetizer. They also reheat just as well as pizza, right in the oven, so don’t fret over any leftovers you may have. Just pop them back in the oven for 10 minutes or so and you are good to go.
So cheers to the marriage of two of the best foods ever made. Pizza and nachos are a match made in snacking heaven!
INGREDIENTS:
This recipe will make enough pizza nachos for 4-6 people as a meal. If you want just a snack or are feeding less people, half the recipe.
1/2 batch Easy All Purpose Vegan Cheese Sauce
1/2 jar vegan marinara sauce
1 Vegan Peperoni thinly sliced
2 batches vegan pizza dough. Store bought or homemade
Black and green olives, onions, peppers, mushrooms, or whatever pizza topping you may like

Pop the cookie sheets into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the pizza dough is cooked though and begging to brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
Prepare cheese sauce according to instructions. You can either make full batch of cheese sauce and save half for another recipe (it keeps for a week or can be frozen) or just prepare half a batch.
Arrange the pizza “chips” in a pile on one baking sheet. Drizzle with desired amount of marinara and cheese sauce. Top with pepperoni slices, olives, and whatever other veggies or toppings you may like. Place the cookie sheet back in the oven and bake at 425 degrees for 5-10 minutes, or unit the cheese sauce is bubbling and browning.
