Take-out Tuesday, Not your Momma’s Vegetable Pizza!
When you think of vegetable pizza, are you picturing mushrooms, peppers, onions, olives, the usual suspects?
How about amping up the flavors with asparagus, fennel, roasted garlic and Brussels sprouts?
Get out of a pizza rut with unexpected combos of different vegetables
Roast them on a foil lined baking sheet
Use a store bought or homemade crust~I like to buy the fresh pizza crust dough that is available in my grocery store’s deli
It is so easy to bake, and see the dark spots? That’s part of the roasted garlic I smeared all over the crust after it came out of the oven~heaven!
After smearing the crust with garlic, pile on the veggies!
Where’s the sauce you are thinking…you can spread some white sauce or Alfredo on the crust if you’d like but it really doesn’t need it~
How about some pine nuts, yum
Lots of shredded Parmesan and then some prosciutto if you are so inclined
Bake it at 400 for about 10 minutes or until everything is hot and happy
Oh yeah!
This is what I call a pizza!
Reheat leftovers at 400 for 5-10 minutes and they taste just as good as the first time!

This looks too fabulous for words. I use that pizza dough from Publix all the time. I used to make it every week, but even though mine tastes better, this one is too easy to pass up. This combo of ingredients looks really tasty.
Totally beautiful and looks so tasty! I had to laugh at the title, because my Mom’s homemade “pizza” was pretty much hamburger on bread. We’ve always teased her about her “exotic” Italian pizza!
I have some pizza dough sitting in the fridge. I can hear this recipe calling my name!
Fun and different! Sounds great:@)
Jenna, That’s how I want to eat my veggies, served up on pizza! Love the combo, I would have never thought about adding fennel or Brussels sprouts. The pine nuts and prosciutto take it over the top!
That pizza is gorgeous. I have brussel sprout phobia maybe pizza would fix that
Thanks Jennifer, just leave the brussels sprouts off if they don’t appeal to you, or wrap them in bacon!
My mouth is watering! Happy weekend.
