Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your pizza dough.

2. Roll out the pre-made pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.

4. Sprinkle the vegan cheese shreds over the sauce, ensuring even coverage for a gooey and melty finish.

5. In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned coating for the dandelions.

6. Dip each dandelion flower into the aquafaba, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the seasoned flour mixture. Repeat for all the dandelions.

7. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

8. Carefully place the coated dandelions in the hot oil, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

9. Once all the dandelions are fried, arrange them on top of the pizza, spreading them out evenly for a beautiful presentation.

10. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven according to the dough instructions or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is bubbly.

11. Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and added herbaceous flavor.
