Ingredients
PIZZA SAUCE
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (if oil-free, sub water)
- 3 cloves garlic minced or pressed
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (omit for less heat)
- 1 (28-ounce) crushed tomatoes San Marzano for best flavor, canned
- 1 tsp oregano or double the amount of fresh oregano, minced, dried
- 1 tsp basil or double the amount of fresh basil, minced, dried
- 3/4 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 tsp maple syrup (or other sweetener of choice // adds balance)
FOR SERVING optional
- Favorite Vegan Pizza
- Gluten-Free Vegan Sausage Pizza
Instructions
- Heat a medium saucepan over low-medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil and garlic and sauté until fragrant — about 1 minute. Add red pepper flakes and stir to infuse flavor. Turn down heat if cooking too quickly.
- Add remaining ingredients (crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and maple syrup) and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once simmering, allow to cook for 10-15 minutes or until slightly reduced. If splattering, reduce heat and cover. When done cooking, the flavors should be deep and well integrated. Taste and adjust as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, salt for overall flavor, red pepper flakes for heat, or oregano or basil for more herby flavor.
- Serve on your favorite pizza (such as our Favorite Vegan Pizza or Gluten-Free Vegan Sausage Pizza). Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
