Take-out Tuesday, Crazy Spring Radish Pizza

the Painted Apron

4 years ago

This pizza is a wonderful way to celebrate Spring

with the unexpected and delicious topping of radishes

Paired with asparagus,

and combined with a few tasty Italian meats and cheeses,

you will have a winner

of a Spring time appetizer, brunch, lunch or dinner!

Remove the stems, wash and cut them into slices

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt

They really don’t need pepper because they are peppery on their own

Place the slices on a parchment lined pan

and roast at 400 for about 15 minutes

I used my favorite ready crust, Pillsbury thin crust dough in a can

Place crust on baking sheet,

prick all over with a fork and bake at 400 for about 8 minutes

until crust begins to brown

I first spread the baked crust with Stonewall Kitchen

This spread is available at many stores,

Piggly Wiggly, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Sur la Table,

You can find a store here

This stuff is crazy good,

but you can also use Alfredo sauce, pesto, olive oil

or rub your crust with roasted garlic,

anything that suits your fancy!

I topped my pizza with crisp tender asparagus spears,

blue cheese {optional}, parmesan cheese, Italian meats

and the roasted radishes

You can assemble this pizza early in the day

and refrigerate it for baking later

It only takes 12-14 minutes in the oven for a delicious flavor filled pizza!

Create your radish pizza any way you want,

substitute ricotta or goat cheese,

make it all veggie, just radish,

or opt for chicken or bacon instead of the Italian meats
