Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 1 lb) Pizza dough
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium (sliced) Zucchini
- 1 large (sliced into strips) Red bell pepper
- 1 medium (sliced into rings) Red onion
- 2 links (sliced) Vegetarian sausage
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 8 oz (sliced) Fresh mozzarella
- 1 handful Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Lightly brush the zucchini slices, red bell pepper strips, and onion rings with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Place the vegetables on the grill grates and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until they develop light char marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Place the vegetarian sausage links on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until heated through and slightly browned. Remove from grill and slice into thin rounds.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it forms a 12-inch circle. Sprinkle a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal and transfer the dough onto it.
Brush the surface of the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Carefully transfer the dough onto the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes with the lid closed, until the bottom is firm and lightly charred.
Flip the dough over using tongs. Spread the marinara sauce evenly across the grilled side of the dough.
Top the pizza with grilled vegetables, sliced sausage, and fresh mozzarella slices. Close the grill lid and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the grill and transfer to a cutting board. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and let rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your grilled veggie sausage pizza!
