Gluten free option for pizza dough?
Hi T,
We have a gluten-free pizza dough recipe here: https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-baked-stuffed/cornmeal-pizza-crust-gluten-free/
Hope you enjoy!
I really like the taste
Is it possto get carbs value , calories ect?
Boy, was I surprised at how flavorful this was. It’s on our keeper list. I did add some smoked paprika and chili powder to the bean mix.
Hi Dolly! We have chosen not to include nutritional information for our recipes as we would not encourage nutrient tallying and calorie counting, which we believe can create more problems than they solve. The general guideline to follow is that, with a whole-food, plant-based diet, you can eat until comfortably satiated.
The higher water and fiber content of whole plant-based foods allows our bodies to more accurately gauge how much food we need to eat. Whole plant foods contain all the essential nutrients (with the exception of Vitamin B12), and in proportions that are more consistent with human needs than animal-based or processed foods.
However, we do understand that certain medical conditions do require knowing specific nutrient information, so for those instances we recommend entering our recipes into online nutritional software: http://www.cronometer.com. If you have a health issue or have concerns, be sure to consult a physician.
I am totally new at this. Everyone has been a meat eater in my family.. Father and Grandfather were both butchers for Swift.
I am anxious to try the best recipes out there so I may change a few people’s minds. lol.
Would appreciate nutrition facts with recipes.
Very yummy! I made fresh pico instead of the salsa and it was delicious.
Beginner here! I cannot wait to try this! It looks so delicious! :))
Hope, some ideas to replace corn: zucchini, yellow squash, carrot, small diced sweet potato/butternut squash (roast separately and add at the end), yellow pepper, yellow tomatoes, cauliflower, millet or rice.
Yes, Ella! Corn is not that healthy
Looks good
Excellent! Easy & quick! We loved it!
Hi, I will try this recipe. I can’t eat corn can you suggest any other veggies. Thanks
Delicious and simple to prepare.
Amazing
I also added a few jalapeños. Easy recipe and absolutely delicious!
I’m relatively new to being WFPB so I come to this site often to find quick and easy recipes. THIS ONE WILL GO DOWN ON MUST HAVE OFTEN list! Sooooo, so tasty! I didn’t have any avocado or cilantro but I can’t imagine how much more delish that will be when I do! I used blended black beans instead and I tried the “sour cream” recipe here. I think I may have it again tonight for dinner!
This was absolutely delish ! I added jalapeño to the salsa for a little heat !
This was delicious! Crispy pita bread and creamy toppings. We will definitely be making this again.
