Roasted Vegetable Pizza

original recipe

ingredients:

• 1 package whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 small can pizza sauce (garlic & basil flavored)
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced into discs
• 1 medium eggplant, diced into 1" pieces
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella (skim or regular)
• 1 small cube feta, crumbled

preparation:

1. Position 1 rack in top third of oven and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 425°F.

2. Unroll pizza dough and place on heavy large baking sheet. Press or stretch to 13x9-inch rectangle (or use circular baking pan). Brush with 1 tablespoon oil.

3. Place eggplant, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion on baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Mix with hands and spread vegetables out evenly.

4. Place pizza crust on top rack in oven and vegetables on bottom rack. Bake until pizza crust is golden brown and vegetables are softened and brown in spots, about 13-15 minutes.

5. Remove from oven. Spread pizza sauce on crust and sprinkle with mozzerella. Top with vegetables and add the cherry tomatoes and crushed feta.

6. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5-10 minutes.

notes to self:

-baked the second time for 15-20 minutes and the crust was a good crunchy

-mushrooms would be good to add
