Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole-grain pizza crust
- 1 can Canned tuna in water (drained)
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
- 0.5 cup Part-skim mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the whole-grain pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the crust using the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and garlic powder on top of the tomato sauce for added flavor.
Scatter the drained tuna evenly over the pizza crust.
Add the shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese over the tuna, ensuring it covers the pizza evenly.
Top the pizza with slices of red onion, red bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Spread the fresh spinach leaves evenly over the pizza. They will shrink during cooking.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the top of the pizza.
If desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for 2-3 minutes, and slice into 4 equal portions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
