A flavorful and easy-to-make pizza featuring roasted vegetables and creamy goat cheese, delivering a crispy crust and rich, tangy toppings perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball (about 12 oz / 340 g) pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (preferably cremini)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 oz (115 g) goat cheese, softened
  • A handful fresh basil, torn
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven early to heat thoroughly (about 30 minutes).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender with caramelized edges but not mushy.
  5. On a floured surface, roll or stretch your pizza dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle and transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
  6. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to help keep the crust crispy.
  7. Spread the softened goat cheese evenly over the dough using a spatula or spoon.
  8. Add the roasted vegetables evenly on top of the goat cheese layer, avoiding piling too thickly.
  9. Transfer the pizza on the parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp and the goat cheese is slightly melted.
  11. Finish with fresh basil leaves and optional red pepper flakes immediately after baking.
  12. Let the pizza cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing to allow toppings to set.

Notes

Roast vegetables first to lock in flavor and prevent soggy crust. Soften goat cheese at room temperature for easy spreading. Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet for a crispy crust. Tent pizza with foil if crust browns too fast. Leftovers reheat best in skillet or oven, not microwave.
