This hearty and delicious Eggplant Pizza with caramelized onions is a meal that vegans and meat-eaters alike will enjoy.
For many there is still a lot of mystery behind what vegans eat. I have been offered fish more than once yet asked, “can vegans eat peanut butter?” just as many times. There actually isn’t much secret behind what we eat, and preparing food is really quite easy – you just leave out the animals.
I’m using Vegan MoFo to take an A-Z trip through my pantry to bring you 26 easy recipes to show you that anyone can cook vegan. Eating vegan, well, it’s as easy as ABC.

Ingredients
Crust
- 2¼ tsp fast acting yeast
- ⅔ cup warm water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Topping
- 1 medium eggplant, sliced ¼" thick
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup vegan mozzarella cheese, I used Diaya
- 3-4 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
- salt
Instructions
- To make the crust
- Combine yeast and warm water and set aside. Mix together flours and salt in a large bowl. Add olive oil and mix. While mixing, slowly add water/yeast mixture.
- Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. Place in a large oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and place in a warm area for 1 - 1½ hours, until doubled in size.
- Once dough is ready you can begin preparing everything else.
- To make the toppings
- Turn the oven to broil and move an oven rack to the top shelf. Slice the eggplant ¼ inch thick and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush each side with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Broil for 4-6 minutes on each side, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
