This fall, roast a sweet potato or two and treat yourself to this seasonal pizza. With harissa-spiked tomato sauce, toasted pine nuts and quick-pickled red onions, our spiced pie makes a great party hors d'oeuvre. (or an excellent way to use up leftovers). And did we mention it just so happens to be vegan?
Here, harissa powder, a North African smoked pepper spice blend, is mixed into our tomato base and forms the base of this pizza’s flavour profile. When making your spiced sauce, feel free to increase the amount of harissa, depending on your personal spice tolerance. (The same goes for the hot peppers.) We like serranos for their color and flavour, but you can calm things down with jalapeños or turn up the volume on the spice by substituting habaneros.
With something this punchy and flavourful around, you may never make it to the main course.
