- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and position a rack in the middle.

- Prepare the sauce by mixing tomato sauce with seasonings and salt to taste. Adjust as needed.
- Make vegan parmesan by blending raw cashews, sea salt, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder until fine. Store in a jar in the refrigerator.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Top the dough with tomato sauce, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, and sautéed veggies.
- Slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the oven rack and bake for 17-20 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
- Serve with remaining parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and red pepper flake. Enjoy cold if there are leftovers.
