Ingredients

Dip Base

  • 1 cup (250 mL) cooked or canned white beans, drained & rinsed (see notes)
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) shredded Parmesan cheese

Pizza Layer

  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) your fave pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese

Pizza Toppings

  • 1 cup (250 mL) total of your fave pizza toppings (see notes below for suggestions!)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a small, oven-safe baking dish or pie plate with non-stick spray.
  • Place the beans, oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and parmesan cheese into the bowl of a food processor.
  • Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and spreadable. If you don’t have a food processor, you can mash this layer with a fork. It will still have “texture” but that’s ok. You can add 1 Tbsp (15 mL) warm water if desired to help loosen the mixture for mashing.
  • Spread the bean mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish using a rubber spatula.
  • Pour pizza sauce over the bean layer and gently spread it to cover the bean base.
  • Cover the sauce with the shredded mozzarella cheese, then scatter your favorite toppings over the cheese.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown around the edges.
  • Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with crispy pita chips, garlic toast sticks, or tortilla chips.

Notes

  • White beans include navy, cannellini, white kidney and great northern beans.
  • SOME FUN PIZZA COMBOS:
    • The Classic Canadian - mini pepperoni slices, diced cooked bacon and sliced button mushrooms.
    • The Island Luau (Hawaiian) - diced ham or prosciutto and pineapple tidbits, patted dry so the dip doesn't get watery.
    • The Garden Party - diced green bell peppers, red onion, sweet corn kernels and sliced black olives.
