Mini Vegetarian Pizzas

You know those days when you just feel like staying in your pyjamas, watching your favourite show and hiding from the world for a few hours. Well this is the perfect meal for that day.

These pizzas are low-key but they sure do deliver on flavour. They take no more than 15 minutes to make and with the addition of a whole wheat pizza base and fresh green vegetables, it’s a healthier pizza alternative.

These mini vegetarian pizzas are coated with a homemade tomato sauce, topped with asparagus, a sprinkling of cheese and fresh basil. I didn’t bother making my own pizza dough because this recipe is meant to be for days when you feel like taking it easy.
