Roasted Veggie Pizza with Garlic Cream Sauce – Oven-roasted yellow squash, zucchini, cauliflower, and onion, three cheeses, and a delicious garlic cream sauce make this pizza out of this world good!
I got the idea for this Roasted Veggie Pizza at a wine tasting I went to with some friends. As soon as I took one bite, I knew I had to try to recreate it. I am happy to say that this is one of my new favorite pizzas!
It really is a great summer pizza and a great way to use up all those summer vegetables. Don’t be shy roasting all those vegetables. They cook down a lot. Have a meat lover in the house? Add some sausage or some bacon for a nice change. We just made this pizza and a more traditional one to go with it. But I really preferred this one! The sauce, folks, is just quite possibly addicting.
I use Pioneer Woman’s pizza crust recipe because it is one of the easiest ones I have tried to date, and it makes enough for two pizzas, which is perfect for our family.
Tips for Making Roasted Veggie Pizza with Garlic Cream Sauce:
- You can use a premade dough. Some grocery stores carry already made pizza dough. You can always buy the refrigerated canned pizza dough or the already made crust.
- My favorite pizza dough recipe is from Pioneer Woman.
- Make your pizza dough ahead of time.
- Add chopped cooked bacon or sausage for a delicious twist.
- Grill your pizzas for a fun summer dinner idea!
