It depends on my mood that day sometimes🍍 on pizza and other times no pineapple.

[@LetsEatPlants]

No pineapple! No way, no how! Not even on a dessert pizza.

Yes to pineapple! Our current favorite is pineapple, spinach, and crumbled tofu with BBQ sauce 😋

[@LeeAnnahsCreations]

I found that making flatbread with Lentils creates a strong flavor of lentils in the finished product. Just an FYI for anyone who is sensitive to flavors.

[@michelleh5157]

Love your channel. I personally really appreciate how relaxed you are and get to the content quickly. You're engaging and encouraging. I often do not have the exact items listed in a recipe. Before I would just give up, not so much anymore. It's great to see how you go with the flow and use what you have on hand when you cook! Thanks so much for all the vids.

[@hadi_alnabati]

I tried this today 😍 I added your cauliflower cheese recipe mixed with saffron, and I topped the pizza with some chickpeas. It was good I liked it! I used 1/2 cup of red lentils and I had half of the pizza for lunch and the other half for dinner. Thank you so much for your amazing videos 💚🌱

I use round silicone pans to make red lentil, (yellow split peas work also) crusts. the silicone pans make it easy to make the batter uniform.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Yay! I'll be curious to hear how it comes out for you! We'll be making them again this week as well... with a bit lower oven temp and see if I can avoid a balloon crust this time. 😆😆 Q loves pineapple on pizza so it's a staple for him! I can go either way, but I know people usually love it or they hate it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@DadsDishes]

this is amazing! I'm definitely on team pineapple, but only when paired with something salty - salty/sweet combo is da bomb. love that there's no presoaking of the lentils required! I've got a #shorts on how to get parchment paper to lay flat, would love your feedback on it! :)

What a brilliant idea to use red lentils for a pizza crust! I've been doing The Daily Dozen (as a Flexitarian, rather than a vegan) and this seems like a solid and super stealthy way to get some legumes in, LOL. Thanks for sharing this with us :D I'm team pineapple, if the other ingredients go well with it or if it's alone, with a red sauce. I could see pineapple working with BBQ sauce, as well. And definitely terriyaki. Maybe mushrooms? I've been flirting with the idea of creating an Italian sausage flavored tofu crumbles recipe. THAT could go well with pineapple on a pizza. BTW, if you want a crust with less calories, for whatever reason (say you want to load it up with vegan sausage crumbles and pineapple and stuff), you could use an Ezekiel tortilla for that. Those are made with whole sprouted legumes and grains. They are about $4 at Trader Joe's and I highly recommend them. I do have to use a quick spray of oil, to get it started in my cast iron skillet (low-medium, while I'm putting the toppings on), and then I move it into the oven at 425 degrees, for about 8-10 minutes, to cook the toppings. The tortillas don't have nearly the same amount of protein as this red lentil crust (7 grams) and they come out like a crunchy cracker crust, but they're only about 160 calories, per piece. Anyway, I just wanted to offer that as an alternative, for those of us who can't simply stop at half a pizza 🤣, but don't want a whole one for 600+ calories. Blessings! #thedailydozen

[@LetsEatPlants]

You're welcome, so glad you enjoyed! 🤩 Love your idea for an Ezekiel tortilla crust too... wish they weren't so darn expensive here (Canada)! 🥺 Thanks for sharing your topping favorites as well. Yum!

Sorry to drive you crazy, the red lentils are out of stock everywhere where im at, due to supply chains. The Green Split Peas are in stock, is that ok to use?

[@LetsEatPlants]

No worries! I don’t think the green split peas would have the same result unfortunately. Beans can be tricky to swap in and out for each other because they have very different cook times. Let me see if I can find some substitutes on google. 🤗

Hmmm I haven’t worked with methylcellulose yet so I’m not sure about that. I didn’t think the crust was really missing anything as a binder, but you could try adding a couple tablespoons of arrowroot flour if you’d like and see how it goes. 😀

My husband Q loves pizza with no cheese AND with pineapple... so that's how he usually eats it and I used to think he was crazy. 😂 I agree that without cheese they're a bit naked... but actually... lately I've been loving loading up with just as many veggies as possible and finding I don't miss the cheese that way! (This pizza was actually a bit sparse on the *usual* amount of veggies I use!) But any cheese sauce would work great on here as well! 💕🧀

Why am I seeing an aversion to wheat flour in vegan recipes? You aren’t alone in this. I’m trying to be vegan, but I want recipes that resemble what I enjoyed in my non vegan past. A vegan cheesy substitute. Cookies that don’t require expensive ingredients like almond flour. I’ve stayed with this since August ‘23. Get plenty of salads and soups and entree. Not hungry here. But would like fun foods that are yummy and not expensive to make.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Hey Diane! Thanks for reaching out! I think as you'll come to realize, there are different paths in veganism. Some eat a bit more healthy, and may avoid things like wheat, oil, refined sugar, etc. while others are looking more for mainstream items just turned vegan without any animal products. Totally get it! I personally have leaned more into healthy cooking, as that's what I'm used to and enjoy... so a lot of my videos are using some more "healthy" ingredients that may be a bit pricier or a bit out of the norm. However, there are a lot of channels/ recipe creators that focus more on easy & simple vegan recipes! I love Sam of It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken, NoraCooks, Sweet Simple Vegan, From My Bowl, Liv B, Madeleine Olivia, Make it Dairy Free, The Edgy Veg, and honestly so many more! I think you will find these creators have a lot more recipes with simple ingredients! Definitely check them out and see if that helps with what you're looking for. 😋😋 All that said, this is one of my all-time favorite cookie recipes and it is quite straightforward (I just veganized a traditional oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe), so thoguht I'd share it with you since you mentioned cookies in particular! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h33FepyrgdaoY9U Hope this helps! 😊
