Roasted Beet and Walnut Pizza
Roasted Beet is sweet where walnut is rich, and a shared earthy streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Jewel-toned roasted beets add earthy sweetness and stunning color to artisan pizza. Toasted walnuts add a satisfying crunch and earthy, slightly bitter nuttiness. On a Pistachio Pesto Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and subtly sweet character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
