Servings: 2
Equipment
- sheet pan or cookie sheet
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 tortillas or more as needed, depending on your sheet pan size and how big a quesadilla you’re planning to make
- 6 to 8 ounces pizza sauce
- 1 cup veggies thinly sliced. Such as thinly sliced onion, mushroom, peppers. Use more, if you want!
- 1 cup vegan mozzarella cheese or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar or other cheeses that you like. I usually use a mix of cheeses from different brands. I use the Chao original, 365 mozzarella, and Daiya mozzarella or cheddar.
- 1/2 recipe of chickpea pepperoni or 12 to 16 slices plant-based pepperoni
- fresh basil or dried basil
- pepper flakes
Instructions
- Assemble all of your ingredients and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place your tortillas so that they overlap each other and that there is no space between them. If there is some space then put another tortilla at the bottom. I usually brush the edges with water where the tortillas are overlapping so that when they are baking they will stick with each other.
- Spread the pizza sauce all over, making a rectangle or square. Leave 1/2 of the tortilla on edges uncovered. Top it with thinly sliced veggies and 1/2 of the vegan cheese then top it with pepperoni, fresh basil (if using) or use about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of dry basil. Add pepper flakes as needed, then top it more with vegan cheese.
- Fold over the tortillas to cover everything. If the center has space, place the tortilla in the centre first then fold the rest of the tortilla.
- Place another baking sheet or another baking pan over the folded tortilla so that they stay in place and put this in the oven at 425° F to bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on all edges. You can also brush the top of the tortillas with oil before putting in oven, so that they brown nicely and crisp up.
- Once done remove the top baking sheet and remove the quesadilla baking sheet from oven. Slice with a sharp knife into preferred size of quesadilla pieces and serve.
