This weekend I was joined by two of my girlfriends, Amanda and Laura. I love spending time with them they’re fun to be with and share my love of healthy food. We wanted to make pizza with a healthy spin, and this is what we came up with. I hope you will give it a try!
Healthy Vegetable Pizza
- Whole wheat pizza dough
- Pizza sauce
- 1 Eggplant
- 1 Zucchini
- Baby Bella Mushrooms, sliced
- Onion
- Fresh basil
- Red peppers
- Olives
- Mozzarella cheese
- Italian seasonings
- Garlic salt
- Slick eggplant, zucchini, onion, and red peppers thinly.
- Place these vegetables on a foil lined cookie sheet.
- Broil the vegetables until they start to brown. Transfer to a plate. You will have to do a few cookie sheets of vegetables.
- Pre-heat the oven, with the pizza stone inside, to 400° F.
- Place whole wheat pizza dough on the pizza stone and top dough with a generous amount of sauce.
- Work with one vegetable at a time, place eggplant filling in a circle on top of the sauce, then do the same with the zucchini, onions, peppers, olives, and mushrooms.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese or sprinkle or a bit of Parmesan cheese if you want a healthier version.
- Add your favorite seasonings.
- Bake in the oven until top has browned. Approximately 25-30 minutes. I find that it’s better to use my nose and eyes to tell when the pizza is done rather than a clock.
