- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, shaping it into a round or rectangular base.
Transfer the dough carefully onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Evenly spread the BBQ sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the BBQ sauce as the base layer.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced red onion, red bell pepper, yellow corn, cherry tomatoes, and spinach leaves with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Distribute the tossed vegetables evenly over the pizza, ensuring a balanced coverage over the surface.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the vegetables.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before slicing and serving the pizza.
Serve warm and enjoy your deliciously smoky and sweet Vegetarian BBQ Pizza.
