Ingredients
- 1 12-inch crust Whole wheat pizza crust
- 0.5 cup Low-fat tomato sauce
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 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 wheat pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone for even cooking.
Spread the low-fat tomato sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and spinach leaves on top of the cheese layer.
Drizzle the vegetables lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, and, if desired, crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
Top the vegetables with the remaining low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
