Tired of pepperoni pizza? When we have the grill going, we like to make this recipe. The chewy from-scratch crust is topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, asparagus and ham. We love pizza and when it's made on the grill, it's even better. -M. Woods Springfield, Missouri

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), thick ends removed
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), thinly sliced, plus 3 tablespoons oil from jar
1 pound store-bought pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1 cup ricotta

Steps:

Heat grill to medium. In a large bowl, combine asparagus, scallions, and 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 6 to 9 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut asparagus and scallions into thirds.
Brush a large baking sheet with 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil. On a lightly floured work surface, divide dough in half. Roll or stretch to form two 9-inch ovals. Transfer to prepared sheet, and brush with remaining tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil.
Transfer dough pieces to grill. Cook until undersides are firm and beginning to char, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a large spatula, transfer crusts, grilled side up, back to baking sheet.
Dividing evenly, top crusts with ricotta, then asparagus, scallions, and sun-dried tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Slide back onto grill and cook, rotating occasionally, until crusts are cooked through and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer pizzas to a cutting board, cut in half, and serve.

Tips:

Choose thin asparagus spears: Thicker spears will take longer to cook and may not get as tender.
Trim the asparagus: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears.
Blanch the asparagus: This will help to tenderize the asparagus and make it easier to handle.
Use a variety of toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include cheese, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and bacon.
Don't overcrowd the pizza: Leave some space between the asparagus spears so that they can cook evenly.
Cook the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will take about 10-12 minutes.
Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing: This will help to prevent the toppings from falling off.

Conclusion:

Grilled asparagus pizzas are a delicious and easy way to enjoy this spring vegetable. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy some grilled asparagus pizzas!
