For the Hummus Beet pizza: - Arrange the roasted beet slices and sliced olives on top of the hummus base. - Optionally, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for some heat. For the Crunchy Indian pizza: - Sprinkle the chickpeas evenly over the hummus. - Add cumin powder and garam masala for a hint of Indian flavor. Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the hot baking surface in the oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the pizza crust is golden and the toppings are cooked to your liking. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing.
