Vegan tortilla vegetable pizza

Another great way to sneak veggies into more meals? Roast them on pizza. Roasting and baking veggies brings out their sweetness, and somewhat disguised their form, making it harder for kids to reject them simply based on what they look like. This vegan tortilla pizza is incredibly easy to put together, so much so that your kids might even be able to get involved with making it!
