Crunchy Vegan Pizza Bites—Made With Chips!

If you grew up in the 90s, you probably knew (and loved) Bagel Bites. Well, today we’re bringing back waves of nostalgia with an upgraded, healthier, animal-friendly bite-sized pizza snack. These pizza bites are made with chips—no pizza dough or bagels necessary! They’re super-easy and make a great afternoon snack and a fun appetizer to serve to guests.

You can use any type of tortilla chips, but you’ll want them to lay pretty flat so you can easily add the toppings. I used Beanfields chips which are already packed with flavor, so I kept the toppings simple. I chose vegan mozzarella cheese (any brand will work—Daiya, Follow Your Heart, Miyoko’s Creamery, and beyond), cherry tomatoes, slivers of purple daikon radish, and minced chives. Perfection.

Of course you can mix it up and top these heavenly chips with any of your favorite pizza toppings. Get creative! However you choose to enjoy them, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
