Sprinkle the remaining vegan mozzarella shreds over the vegetables. Then, sprinkle with nutritional yeast, dried oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Pro Tips
This recipe packs 18g of protein per serving. For even more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or extra beans.
Use high-quality olive oil and fresh herbs for the most authentic flavor. Dried herbs work in a pinch but fresh makes a noticeable difference.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
