Ingredients

• Gluten-free pizza crust - 1 medium (store-bought or homemade)
• Green lentils - 100 grams (cooked)
• Large onion - 1 (sliced thinly)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons (chopped)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. While the onions are cooking, prepare the gluten-free pizza crust according to package instructions or your homemade recipe.
4. Once the onions are caramelized, add the cooked lentils, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
5. Spread the lentil mixture evenly over the prepared pizza crust.
6. Top the pizza with the caramelized onions, crumbled feta cheese (if using), and drizzle with lemon juice.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted.
8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
