This bright, cheesy, spicy Vegan Shaved Asparagus Pizza is perfect to make to impress your loved ones, for brunch, dinner or even picnics!
Asparagus on pizza may sound weird but it WORKS, this beautiful juicy vegetable is shaved, tossed with lemon zest, lemon juice, spices and a little crumbled tofu. Finally, arranged over the Cheesy Kale sauce.
Delicious – this recipe is truly perfect for those who like asparagus AND for those who do not! I promise you, once the asparagus is shaved, it’ll become more palatable for those who aren’t asparagus fans!

Can I make this a day ahead? You can 100% make the Cheesy Kale dip the day before, but I’d advise to shave and season the asparagus on the day!
Do I have to arrange the shaved asparagus so neatly? Nope! If you’re feeling lazy, just place the shaved asparagus over the pizza! This may result in some areas of the asparagus not cooking completely – but because the asparagus has been shaved it doesn’t really matter!
Can I eat this pizza cold? YES! I’m actually a huge fan of cold pizza, but you can of course also heat it up in the microwave for a few seconds!

Shaved Asparagus Pizza
I love spring and the influx and variety of fresh produce that comes with it. And I don’t know about you, but I just want to put all of that produce on pizza dough and bake it up. So, I did, and this delicious vegan pizza primavera was created! It’s topped with some of my favorite springtime veggies.With burst cherry tomatoes and ribboned zucchini and asparagus.
This pizza is heavenly with a doughy and crisp bottomed crust, juicy vegetables, creamy vegan cheese, fragrant rosemary, and a garlicky white sauce base. It’s a pizza worth turning your oven on for. Yes, even in this heat! Or save it for a rainy day if you must.
I made an asparagus pizza with a spicy chickpea sauce last spring, and once you’ve put asparagus on pizza there is no going back! Asparagus stays crisp on pizza if diced, but when sliced into ribbons it bakes soft and juicy, practically melting into the vegan cheese.

I upped the green veggie factor by adding ribbons of zucchini. Zucchini is so perfectly tender this time of year and that’s enhanced when thinly sliced. It pairs well with asparagus, which is more fibrous of a vegetable.
Choose fat, fresh-looking stalks of asparagus for this pizza, and thinner, smaller zucchini. To make ribbons, all you need is a peeler! Peel down the whole length of the vegetable to create long and thin ribbons.
The ribboned vegetables are tossed in a light dressing. A drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, with a sprinkling of salt and freshly ground black pepper highlights the vegetal flavors. You might forget you need it for topping your pizza and munch on the veggies raw. I know. Well, you can always make a little extra 😉 .
The Best Damn Homemade Pizza…ever
Paired with the green ribbons are sweet and juicy cherry tomatoes. While late summer is the optimal time for cherry tomatoes, I have been enjoying those that have cropped up in this early season. Heating them in olive oil until they burst enhances the sweetness and makes them a little saucy. Generously scattered over the pizza they provide concentrated bites of sweetness, balanced with a smidgen of acidity.
When I put tomatoes on top of a pizza I typically like to keep the base white. I’ll usually either brush on some olive oil and crushed garlic or make my garlic white sauce for an extra creamy pizza. For this pizza, I wanted to up the cream factor. You could probably skip the vegan mozzarella even, especially if you’re not a fan (though, if you do this, make the garlic white sauce a lot saltier).
This wouldn’t be a springtime pizza (pizza primavera, if you will) without upping the fresh factor and adding some herbs. Rosemary was my first pick, with its piney aroma and flavor. The woodiness balances the sweet cherry tomatoes and picks up on the garlicky cream so well. If you haven’t tried rosemary on pizza, I highly recommend it! If you’re not into rosemary, then go for the usual pizza suspect–fresh basil.

So if you find yourself craving a good primavera, skip the pasta and go for pizza! Pick up some pizza dough or make your own. Invite some friends over (I think these pizzas could be shared between up to 6 people, 4 if you’re very hungry)! Or not, leftovers are great too.
