Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a large baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
Wash all vegetables thoroughly and pat dry.
Slice the zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers into thin, round slices or strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Arrange the sliced zucchini, eggplant, and peppers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping slightly to form a solid base.
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to evenly coat the vegetables with the seasoning.
Bake the vegetable base in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until slightly softened and edges begin to brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly layer the cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese over the vegetable base.
Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes on top for a bit of heat (optional).
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optional: Turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking to achieve a golden, cheesy topping.
Remove the veggie pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your healthy, crustless veggie pizza!
