Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made ball or homemade batch Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (fresh or frozen, thawed) Corn kernels
- 1 cup (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained) Black beans
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
- 0.5 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Fresh lime juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your baking sheet or stone.
Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the dough and brush it evenly across the surface.
In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the oiled dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the pizza, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Top the mozzarella with corn kernels, black beans, red onion slices, and cherry tomato halves. Spread them evenly to ensure each slice gets a pop of flavor.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings for added richness.
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the pizza from the oven. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a zesty finish.
Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy your Smoky Corn Black Bean Pizza!
