Carrot Pizza Base Recipe
Not everyone likes tomato or gets on with tomato so this carrot pizza base not only provides a unique and delicious flavour but also supports gut health with its blend of fibre, healthy fats, and probiotic-rich vinegar. So this carrot pizza base is not only delicious but also is also incredibly nourishing for the gut.
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of cooked carrots, well-drained
- 2 good pinches of sea salt
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of good quality live vinegar
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of either caraway, fennel, cumin, or aniseed seeds
- 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey
Instructions:
- Prepare the Carrots:
- Ensure your cooked carrots are very well drained. Any excess water can affect the texture of your base.
- Smash the carrots using a fork. The texture should be rough, not completely smooth.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the smashed carrots with sea salt, olive oil, live vinegar, and black pepper.
- Add the seeds (caraway, fennel, cumin, or aniseed) and the maple syrup or honey.
- Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
- Using the Base:
- This mixture should be enough for around 8 pizza bases, depending on their size.
- Spread the carrot mixture evenly over your pizza bases before adding your desired toppings.
