How to Make Power Pizza
- **Prepare Orange Puree:** Combine 1 cup chopped carrots and 1 cup chopped yams in a medium pot. Cover with cold water and boil for 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain vegetables and puree in a food processor with 2 tablespoons of water until completely smooth. Add more water as needed to reach a smooth consistency. This makes approximately 2 cups of puree. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze in 1/4 cup portions.
- **Prepare White Bean Puree:** Rinse and drain 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans. Pulse in a food processor with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until completely smooth. This makes about 1 cup of puree. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze in 1/4 cup portions.
- **Prepare Zucchini-Cauliflower Puree:** Steam or microwave 1 medium head of cauliflower until very tender (about 10-12 minutes steaming or 8-10 minutes microwaving). While cauliflower cooks, pulse 1 medium peeled and chopped zucchini with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in the food processor. Add the cooked cauliflower and 1 tablespoon of water to the zucchini in the food processor. Puree until smooth, adding the second tablespoon of water if needed. This makes approximately 2 cups of puree. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze in 1/4 cup portions.
- **Assemble the Pizza:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a pizza stone or baking sheet by spraying with oil. Stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired shape and thickness. Transfer to the prepared stone or baking sheet.
- **Combine and Spread Sauce:** In a bowl, mix 24 ounces of bottled tomato sauce with 1/2 cup of the orange puree. Mix well.
- **Add Cheese and Bake:** Spread 1/2 to 1 cup of the sauce mixture over the pizza dough. Top with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- **Bake:** Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- **Cool, Slice, and Serve:** Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
