Veggie pizza is a flavorful, healthy twist on traditional pizza, topped with a variety of fresh vegetables and gooey cheese. Perfect for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, it’s a customizable dish that’s quick, delicious, and nutritious.

Ingredients

  • For the pizza crust:
  • 1 package of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the topping:
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush the edges with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt over the crust.
  3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  5. Top with sliced red onion, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, olives (if using), and spinach.
  6. Season with dried oregano, basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  8. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

If you prefer a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese or skip the cheese entirely. You can also use a cashew cream sauce for extra richness.If you like spicy pizza, add jalapeños, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce to the sauce or topping.You can experiment with different cheeses like goat cheese, feta, or provolone for a unique flavor.For a crispier crust, preheat your pizza stone or baking sheet before placing the pizza dough on it.If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pizza dough or cauliflower crust.
