This colorful, tasty, nourishing pizza is the perfect combination of healthy and indulgent. Its crust is tender and soft but crispy in the right places and topped with a tangy sauce, gorgeous heirloom tomatoes, asparagus, and red onions, then garnished with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil. 

I’m super excited about this recipe. The crust came about by accident while testing tortilla recipes and it’s wonderful. With the sauce and veggies, it’s even better. My kids even liked it, veggies and all.

It’s fast and simple– Let’s face it, making Paleo recipes can get complicated and time-consuming being that you can’t use most prepacked goods to speed the process along. This pizza is relatively easy considering you’re starting from scratch. 

It’s healthy- The crust is made with almond flour, chia seed meal, and olive oil, good sources of healthy fats. Plus, you’re getting tons of antioxidants from the sauce and veggie toppings. 

It’s filling, fresh and very satisfying- the combination of healthy fats, moderate protein, and gorgeous veggies make for a perfect meal. 

  • This recipe makes enough for 1 large serving or 2 smaller servings. 
  • The chia seed meal is key for holding everything together. Letting the chia seed meal sit in the liquid for 5-10 minutes really increases its binding capacity. 
  • The sauce recipe makes over half a cup of sauce but you only 2-3 tbsp for the pizza itself. The additional sauce works well for dipping. 

I hope you enjoy the recipe. If you made it, please leave a comment below and let me know what you thought!
