A healthy new take on pizza

We still love the cheesy stuff we grew up on, but there's plenty of room to play when it comes to the beloved classic. Start with the crust – you can do amazing things with grains and veggies. Be creative with a spread or sauce, add exotic toppings, and you've got an upgraded, delicious pie that's nutritious, bold, and totally unique.

1. Preheat oven to 200 deg C and line baking sheet with parchment paper. In medium bowl, stir together quinoa, almond flour, eggs, and a pinch each of salt and pepper until evenly combined. Turn mixture onto prepared baking sheet. With damp hands, press it into a 30cm circle.

Bake until firm and crisp, about 15 to 20 minutes.

2. Remove crust from oven and spread with harissa. Add goat cheese, bell pepper, zucchini, olives, and lemon slices. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3. Return pizza to oven and bake until cheese melts and vegetables are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes more. Before serving, garnish with cilantro and mint.
