Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 8 ounces Ground sausage (ensure dairy-free)
• 1 small Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Dairy-free shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up while you prepare the pizza.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and salt to the saucepan. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the onion and bell pepper for 5 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Place the dairy-free thin pizza crust on a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the prepared tomato sauce over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the sauce.

Step 9

Add the sautéed onion and bell pepper evenly across the pizza.

Step 10

Top with the dairy-free shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 12

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
