- When the pizza crusts have finished baking, remove them from the oven and divide the pesto between the two of them, leaving a 1" rim around the crusts. Add the kale and then top with the peas, asparagus, mozzarella, and goat cheese. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with some hemp hearts.
