Tips
You can use gluten free tortillas to keep this gluten free. (The pictured tortillas are wheat based).
You can fold this on your own, but it’s easier if you have another person to help you, especially when it’s time to put the pan on top to weigh it down.
Use my homemade Vegan Pepperoni with Chickpea Flour or use store-bought, if you don’t have time to make your own.
How to Make Sheet Pan Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla
Assemble all of your ingredients and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place your tortillas so that they overlap each other and that there is no space between them. If there is some space then put another tortilla at the bottom. I usually brush the edges with water where the tortillas are overlapping so that when they are baking they will stick with each other.
Spread the pizza sauce all over, making rectangular or square. Leave half of the tortilla on the edges uncovered.
Top it with thinly sliced veggies and half of the vegan cheese.
Then, top it with pepperoni and fresh basil or dried basil.
Add pepper flakes as needed, then top it with the remaining vegan cheese.
Fold over the tortillas into the middle to cover everything. If the center has an open space where the tortillas won’t overlap, place another tortilla in the center to cover the opening.
Place another baking sheet or baking pan over the folded tortillas so that they stay in place and put the whole thing into the oven at 425° F to bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on all edges. You can also brush the top of the tortillas with oil before putting in oven, so that it browns nicely and crisps up.
Once done, remove the baking sheet and remove the quesadilla baking sheet from oven. Slice with a sharp knife into preferred size of quesadilla pieces and serve.
