Vegan Hawaiian BBQ Pizza with Cashew Parmesan

This dairy-free vegan Hawaiian BBQ Pizza with cashew parmesan is so delicious and satisfying. It's made with hearty black beans, pineapple, onion, and an easy homemade vegan parmesan cheese with lots of flavor.

Have you tried cashew parmesan? It is so quick and easy to make, and a great healthier alternative to dairy cheese. (I am convinced it is "magic dust"!)

You can sprinkle it on pizza, veggies, pasta, salads, sandwiches, wraps. There are so many versatile ways to enjoy it.

And it has elevated our homemade vegan pizzas to a whole other level.

I really enjoy "Hawaiian style" pizza with sweet pineapple, onion, fresh cilantro, and BBQ sauce.

This vegan version doesn't skip a beat with the homemade cashew parmesan.

We also add black beans in this version for some extra heartiness (plus fiber and plant-based protein).

Use as much or as little of the toppings to suit your own taste however.

• 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) or whatever temperature your pizza crust is happiest.

Notes

*Cashew parmesan: You might have leftover parmesan depending on how much you use. It stores in a sealed jar or container in the fridge for a few months.
