Veggie Pizza

Try this easy pizza dish, that I guarantee will taste, if not better, but as good as a ready made veggie pizza. 
You can change the toppings to what ever you like, may be some rocket & pineapple, or you can change the contents of the sauce. Its a very forgiving recipe, so play with it. 

Ingredients: 
  • Pre-made Pizza base- available in the freezer section 
  • ½ Cup diced tomatoes or tomato paste (I use the ones with garlic in it)
  • 2-3 tsp. Oregano
  • 3-4 Garlic cloves minced or grated
  • 1 tbsp. Chili flakes 
  • Fresh Basil leaves
  • Basil Pesto paste
  • Cheddar cheese
  • 1 Cup Mixed veggies- Onion, Broccoli, carrots, corn, capsicum etc. I use the pack of frozen veggies. 
  • Salt and pepper

Method: 
  1. Remove the pizza base from the fridge 5 mins before you are ready to make the pizza. 
  2. In a bowl take about ½ cup of the tomato paste and add the oregano, chili flakes and garlic to it. Mix well.
  3. On a non stick baking tray or cookie sheet, place the pizza base. 
  4. Evenly spread the pesto on the pizza base. Next slather about 3-4 tbsp or more, depending on the size of the pizza base, of the tomato paste on the pizza base.
  5. Top with veggies of your choice. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
  6. Add some chili flakes. 
  7. Bake in oven at 180 c for 15 mins. 
  8. Turn the oven off, remove pizza and grate as much or as little cheese as you like. 
  9. Garnish with the basil leaves. 
  10. In the mean while turn on the grill at medium. 
  11. Now place the pizza base directly under the grill for another 10-15 mins, or until the veggies develop color and cheese has melted. 
  12. Remove and let is cool for 5mins. 
  13. You could add some tofu as well for extra flavour. 


Serve hot or put it in tupperware containers & reheat. Stays well for 2 days.
