We're so hooked on the Vietnamese sandwich that we tapped one of our favorite cookbook authors/bloggers Gaby Dalkin to spin it into a healthy homemade pizza. This mash-up recipe includes many classic banh mi components—pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, Fresno chiles—just minus the meat. The sauce (rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce) is so delicious, you might want to make a double batch so you have extra for dunking the crust.

Equal parts spicy and sweet, tangy yet decadent: The Italian-American main dish delight of chicken scarpariello is the inspiration for this healthy homemade pizza.

Start with a flour tortilla as the crust for this Mexican-style healthy pizza idea and each pie cooks up in a mere 4 minutes. The crust is great, but the sauce might be the real star here—it's inspired by a classic Mexican mole and made with pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, barbecue sauce, cinnamon, a blend of hot and warm spices, plus some bittersweet chocolate. (Trust us, it's sensational!) A thick schmear of that quick mole pairs beautifully with the toppings, including black beans, Oaxaca cheese, crunchy cabbage, roma tomatoes, and fresh, buttery avocado slices.
