For example, we can prepare tomato pizzas or white pizzas by choosing different vegetables for the seasoning depending on the seasons and with these same vegetables we can prepare sauces to season the pizza, for example a rocket and basil pesto or an asparagus sauce.
Here are 20 vegetarian DIY toppings to enrich your homemade pizza.
Pizza with pumpkin and spicy gorgonzola
Cut the pumpkin into cubes, brown it and add it to the pizza together with pieces of slightly spicy gorgonzola: a sweet-savory contrast guaranteed.
Pizza with rocket and basil pesto
Season the pizza with our idea to vary the homemade pesto. Prepare fresh pesto with rocket and basil and garnish your pizza with walnut kernels and thin slices of courgette.
Pizza with caramelized onions and feta
Caramelize the onions in the pan with a teaspoon of brown sugar, then add them to the pizza with cubes of feta or similar vegetable cheese.
Pizza with stracchino and walnuts
Stracchino melts during cooking differently from mozzarella, more creamy and delicate. Combined with walnut kernels and a drizzle of raw honey, it becomes an elegant and very quick to prepare white pizza topping.

Smoked aubergine cream is an extremely versatile gourmet ingredient for pizza: its velvety texture, intense flavor and ease of preparation make it perfect for multiple combinations.
