Spinach Tomato Pizza
Oh, another plant-based pizza appetizer for you! This Spinach-Tomato Pizza is featuring green leafy spinach on top with sun-dried tomatoes. Moreover, the green effect of spinach is also one of the appropriate recipes for the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. We all know that pizza is a great dish to serve to guests or as a crowd-pleaser. However, if you don’t want to cheat on your vegan diet while celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. This is for you! It’s very easy to make with minimal ingredients in your kitchen. In addition, you don’t have to leave home to buy the ingredients you need. Just a piece of advice, if you are on a vegan diet, it’s better to plant veggies in your yard than buy them into the market.
Are you hungry already? Then this is the sign that you cook them. But before you cook them. You should know this; I’d recommend that cooked spinach first, before adding it as a regular topping to the pizza. Some people advised leaving it raw and adding it in the last five minutes of baking. Also, others advised steaming for the first five minutes and then adding for the last five minutes.

What is the best way to reheat pizza that has been left over?
We have discovered a foolproof way for reheating cold slices: lay them on a rimmed baking sheet, cover securely with aluminum foil, and bake on the lowest rack of a cold oven. Then preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and let the pizza warm for 25 to 30 minutes.
