Veggie Lovers Pizza

Even though I don’t get to enjoy pizza every day, I do try to enjoy this all-time favorite as much as possible! As you know by now, Friday nights are typical pizza nights in my home. Because we eat it quite frequently, I have to come up with ways to keep it both interesting and healthy (to the best of my ability). 🙂

Since my daughter doesn’t always eat her veggies willingly, that completely changes when I put cheese and pizza sauce on it! And my Veggie Lovers Pizza recipe is a perfect choice.

Sauteed Veggies

This Classic Veggie Pizza is really easy to make. I didn’t want to overdo it with a lot of different vegetables, so I kept it simple with red and green peppers, spinach and mushrooms. Feel free to add as much or as little as you like.

I like to cook the vegetables in garlic in order to soften the texture and to blend the flavors before sliding it in the oven. Since pizza is a constant request in my home, I want to make a pizza full of fresh ingredients and veggies whenever possible.

  5. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and cook pizza for 18 to 20 minutes until crust is golden.

Notes

I lightly saute the vegetables just so they are not too crunchy. This is a personal preference so feel free to add them to your pizza without cooking them down.
