Roasted Vegetable Pizza
3
Pizza is one of those classic dishes that is so popular it is now eaten all over the world. The best thing about it is that it’s versatile – once you have the base, you can add whatever pizza topping you like!
Using a ready-made pizza base and tomato sauce as we have in this recipe halves the work so you can concentrate on the pizza topping. The vegetables we’ve used here are typical of the Mediterranean diet which is renowned for its health benefits. Once drizzled with some olive oil and cooked in a hot oven the roasted vegetables become tender, soft and juicy. We’ve used peppers and courgette in this recipe, but feel free to experiment with others – onions, butternut squash and carrot are just a few of the alternatives. If you don’t have time to cook roasted vegetables, use a jar of ready-roasted peppers and blanch the courgettes before cooking.
