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!
