Description
A delightful Spring Veggie Pizza featuring asparagus and potatoes, perfect for a fresh and flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (12 inches)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup baby potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced baby potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Roll out the pre-made pizza crust on a floured surface to fit your pizza stone or baking sheet. Transfer the crust to the heated stone or sheet.
- Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top.
- Evenly distribute the sautéed potatoes and asparagus over the cheese. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with dried oregano.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, then slice and serve.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pizza crust.
- Add other seasonal vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra flavor and nutrition.
