Zero-Waste Mini Pizzas
Sometimes the best recipes are born from what we already have. That’s exactly what happened when I looked at the open package of gluten-free bread in my kitchen and thought: Why not turn it into something fun, flavorful, and satisfying — with zero waste?
These mini pizzas are crispy, comforting, and packed with vibrant toppings like juicy cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, vegan cheese, olives, and whatever your heart (or fridge) desires. They're perfect for a cozy dinner, a gathering with friends, or a nutritious lunch you can look forward to.
Not only are they incredibly versatile, but they also make use of every slice — no food left behind!
This kind of simple creativity helps reduce waste while still feeling indulgent. Plus, you get to make every pizza your own. Win-win, right? 😉
Whether you're using gluten-free bread, a classic sourdough, or any kind of loaf that needs love, these mini pizzas prove that good food can be easy, sustainable, and joyful.
