ROASTED VEGGIE PIZZA
A bold, flavorful garlic and basil pesto sauce is an awesome change of pace from traditional tomato-based pizza sauce. Roasted vegetables are a fantastic topping. Whenever I serve it alongside a standard meat pizza, this one's always the first to go!

FRESH VEGETABLE PIZZA APPETIZER
One of my favorite make-ahead, deliciously different appetizers for a party! Everyone love it and asks for the recipe. DH doesn't like broccoli and he loves this pizza, as all vegetable flavors blend after overnight refrigeration. I'd guess it serves about 24+ people with little 1-inch square bites. Leftovers, if there are any, can be refrigerated for about 2 days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Lightly grease 17x11 rectangular cookie sheet or a 16-ounce pizza pan.
- Press pizza dough into pan to form a crust.
- Bake as directed on package until crust is done and just slightly browned on top.
- Do not overbake.
- Cool.
- Mix Sauce ingredients together and spread over cooled crust.
- Prepared all of the vegetables of choice by dicing them into very small pieces, placing each vegetable in a separate bowl or stack.
- ***Pay special attention to the tomatoes, as you need to drain these on paper towels to remove all excess moisture.
- Blot both top and bottom of tomatoes until they are dry.
- ***Sprinkle each vegetable, along with the cheese, evenly over the pizza, covering the cream cheese sauce in a decorative fashion.
- Cover entire pizza with plastic wrap and gently press toppings into the cream cheese.
- Refrigerate until serving time.
- (I prefer to refrigerate overnight to let flavors blend.) Cut into small, appetizer servings (about 1"x1") (I use a pizza cutter for this).
- Don't be tempted to add too many toppings to this pizza.
- Toppings need to adhere to cream cheese to make it neater to serve and eat; however, I always have some topping fall away when I cut this.
- ***I have kept this pizza in the refrigerator for several days, and it was still very delicious.
- SUBSTITUTE any of the toppings you like in place of the ones listed.
- I always select toppings that have a variety of complementary colors for a pretty presentation.

Tips:
- Choose the right dough: A good pizza dough is the foundation of a great pizza. You can use store-bought dough or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use high-quality ingredients and let the dough rise properly.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your pizza the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: When you're adding toppings, don't overcrowd the pizza. This will make it soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of vegetables on your pizza. Some popular options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini, and spinach.
- Add some cheese: Cheese is a classic pizza topping that adds flavor and richness. You can use any type of cheese you like, but mozzarella is a popular choice.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature: Pizza should be baked at a high temperature so that the crust gets crispy and the cheese melts. The ideal temperature is around 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Vegetable pizza is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different topping combinations to choose from, there's sure to be a vegetable pizza that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give vegetable pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
