Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 batch easy whole wheat pizza dough or 1 pound store-bought pizza dough
1 cup pizza sauce or marinara
2 cups baby spinach
2 to 3 cups (8 to 12 ounces) shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup jarred or canned artichoke, cut into 1" pieces
1/2 cup fresh red or orange bell pepper, cut into narrow 2″ strips
1/2 cup red onion, cut into thin wedges
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Optional garnishes: Fresh basil (small leaves or torn), red pepper flakes and/or finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit with a rack in the upper third of the oven. If you're using a baking stone or baking steel, place it on the upper rack. Prepare dough through step 5.
  • Spread pizza sauce evenly over the two pizzas, leaving about 1 inch bare around the edges. Evenly distribute the spinach on top of the sauce, followed by the cheese (use all three cups if you want a cheesy pizza as shown here).
  • Top the pizzas with artichoke, bell pepper, red onion, tomatoes, olives and almonds (if using).
  • Bake pizzas individually on the top rack until the crust is golden and the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes (or significantly less, if you're using a baking stone/steel-keep an eye on it).
  • Transfer pizzas to a cutting board and sprinkle with with fresh basil, red pepper flakes and Parmesan, if using. Slice and serve! Leftover pizza keeps well in the refrigerator for 4 days, or for several months in the freezer.

MEDITERRANEAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH OLIVES



Mediterranean Roasted Cauliflower with Olives image

This cauliflower medley is a great way to perk up your menu. It can be served warm as a side dish, or at room temperature and tossed with romaine lettuce as a salad. Warming the herbs and garlic in the oil prior to tossing with the veggies helps their flavor bloom. When ready to serve, drizzle on as much or as little balsamic vinegar as you like.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
½ teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets
1 cup red onions, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch squares
2 ounces sliced black olives
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Combine olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground pepper in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 20 to 30 seconds. Watch carefully, and remove from the microwave when the oil bubbles. Set aside.
  • Combine cauliflower florets, red onion, and red bell pepper in a large bowl. Pour in the olive oil mixture and stir until all the vegetables are coated. Spread out vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables reach the desired doneness, 20 to 25 minutes. Broil if you like additional color, carefully watching that the vegetables do not burn, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle sliced olives over the vegetables and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
