Ingredients

For the Pizza Dough:

• 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• Flour, for dusting

For the Toppings:

• 1 cup vegan cheese, shredded (such as dairy-free mozzarella)
• 1 cup mixed grilled vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, red onions), sliced
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• Olive oil, for brushing

For the Sauce (optional):

• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into your desired shape and thickness.
3. Brush one side of the dough with olive oil and place it directly on the grill grates, oiled side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the dough is set.
4. Remove the partially cooked dough from the grill and place it on a flat surface, grilled side up.
5. If using sauce, spread it evenly over the grilled side of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Sprinkle the shredded vegan cheese over the sauce, followed by the sliced grilled vegetables.
7. Return the topped pizza to the grill and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
8. Remove the pizza from the grill and sprinkle chia seeds over the top.
9. Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving.
