Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, about 12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, sliced into thin rounds Zucchini
- 1 medium, sliced into thin strips Bell pepper
- 1 small, sliced into rings Red onion
- 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 0.25 cup, torn Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using an oven, preheat to 450°F.
Lightly oil the grill grates or a grill pan to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Brush one side of the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Carefully place the oiled side of the dough directly on the grill grates. Close the grill lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the dough is lightly puffed.
Flip the dough using tongs or a spatula. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the grilled side of the dough.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the sauce, followed by the grilled vegetables.
Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If using an oven, bake the assembled pizza directly on a pizza stone or baking sheet for 8-10 minutes.
Remove the pizza from the grill or oven and transfer it to a cutting board.
Garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately.
