BBQ Tofu Pizza

BBQ Tofu Pizza with Roasted Broccoli, Sriracha Tofu, and cooked corn. It’s packed with plant-based protein and made gluten-free with a chickpea crust. 

I haven’t always made my own pizza. 

It took me *years* to prefer my own over delivery and even longer to start branching into different flavor profiles. 

My latest obsession is adding BBQ sauce to pizza for a bit of tang and intrigue. 

Top it with spicy tofu, sweet corn, and roast-y broccoli and I might just melt like dairy-free mozzarella. 

M is a bit of a purist when it comes to pizza, so he would argue that this isn’t even pizza at all. 

But, because this is my little (pizza) slice of the internet, won’t you agree with me that it’s pizza if I say it’s pizza?

This BBQ Tofu Pizza is the loaded plant-based pizza of your dreams! 

It’s packed with plant-based protein and made gluten-free with a chickpea crust loaded with BBQ sauce, roasted broccoli, sriracha tofu, and cooked corn.

I feel like there’s a lot to celebrate right now, so let’s throw a pizza party! 

How to Make BBQ Tofu Pizza

This pizza is easy in theory but it does have a few steps. 

Here’s how I build mine for BBQ Pizza success! 

Here’s what you need to make the best BBQ Tofu Pizza:

• Banza crusts
• BBQ sauce
• pizza sauce 
• dairy-free cheese shreds 
• red onion 
• cooked corn 
• Roasted broccoli 
• Sriracha tofu 

That’s it!

Sriracha Tofu Ingredients

First, prepare the sriracha tofu and roasted broccoli.

For the sriracha tofu, you need: 

• firm tofu
• refined-sugar-free BBQ sauce 
• sriracha 

That’s it!

Roasted Broccoli Ingredients

And the roasted broccoli is easy too:

• broccoli
• avocado oil
• Himalayan sea salt 
• black pepper 

That’s it!

How to Make It

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 

Add the broccoli florets to a medium-sized mixing bowl and drizzle them with avocado oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Toss everything to combine, then transfer the broccoli to the first lined baking sheet. 

Add the crumbled tofu to the same mixing bowl with the BBQ sauce and sriracha.

Mix everything together until the tofu is well-coated.

Transfer the sriracha tofu to the second baking sheet and spread it into an even layer. 

Add both pans to the oven and bake them for ~20-25 minutes, until the broccoli is slightly charred and the tofu is browned and slightly firm to the touch.

For firmer tofu, continue baking it for an additional 5-10 minutes. 

My Favorite Crust

While the broccoli and tofu is baking, prepare the BBQ pizza crusts.

Prepare two crusts of your choice ( homemade or store-bought).

To make things a bit easier, I prefer using a pre-made frozen crust as the base, to speed things up. 

I love the Banza Plain Chickpea Crusts because they’re nice and sturdy and made vegan and gluten-free with chickpea flour. 

How to Make the Sauce

I found that using a 50/50 mix of BBQ sauce and pizza sauce was the perfect blend of flavors. 

It gives the pizza a bit of sweetness and heat without screaming barbecue, if you know what I mean. 

If you’re like me and aren’t a die-hard BBQ sauce lover, I recommend going half and half! 

Spread the BBQ sauce and pizza sauce as base for both pizzas.

Mix them together them in an even layer with the back of a spoon. 

Put It All Together

Next, add on the dairy-free cheese shreds, followed by the red onion and cooked corn. 

When the roasted broccoli and sriracha tofu are done, remove the pans from the oven.

Divide the roasted broccoli and sriracha tofu between the two pizzas, layering the broccoli first and finishing with the sriracha tofu so it gets crispier in the oven. 

Add any other toppings here that you want on the pizza!

Yum. 

Transfer the pizza crusts directly to the center rack of the oven and bake them for ~10-15 minutes.

The pizza is done when the crust is golden brown on the edges and underneath and the vegetables are hot and tender. 

Transfer the pizza to a cutting board, slice with a pizza cutter, and serve it immediately. 

Because this pizza is loaded, it will retain heat and moisture, so be careful not to burn yourself!

How to Enjoy It

Enjoy this BBQ Tofu Pizza as a fun variation to your usual pizza night. 

It’s perfect to make to share with friends and family on a Friday night or the weekend. 

Feel free to mix up the vegetables and toppings to match what is in season and what you have one hand. 

I love the pairing of sweet corn and roasted broccoli for late summer/fall! 

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week and reheat the pizza slices in the microwave before serving. 

Enjoy!
