Fall is here, and there is nothing better than a fresh pizza topped with juicy vegetables. With plant-forward being incredibly popular right now, this is the perfect addition to any operation, and will be sure to attract customers.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces pizza dough
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 cup sliced onion
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 8 ounces asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 ears corn
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/3 cup small fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 500°.
Step 2: Place dough in a bowl coated with cooking spray; cover and let stand for 30 minutes. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 4 teaspoons olive oil and garlic to the pan; cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant (do not brown). Remove garlic from oil, and discard garlic. Remove garlic oil from pan; set aside. Increase heat to medium-high. Add remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Add onion and bell pepper; sauté 5 minutes. Place onion mixture in a bowl, and add asparagus. Cut corn from cob; add corn to vegetable mixture.
Step 3: Scatter cornmeal over a lightly floured surface; roll dough into a 13-inch circle on the prepared surface. Transfer dough to a baking sheet; brush with garlic oil. Top with vegetable mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border; sprinkle cheese, salt, and pepper over top. Bake at 500° for 15 minutes or until golden. Top with basil. Cut into 8 slices.
