Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza dough or homemade
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large white onion thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 2 large Portobello mushrooms thinly sliced
- 4 cloves roasted garlic mashed
- 1/2 cup veggie broth
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
- Slice the Vegetables: Thinly slice the white onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and Portobello mushrooms. These will be the main toppings for your pizza.
- Mash the Roasted Garlic: Mash the roasted garlic cloves. Roasted garlic adds a sweet, mellow flavor to the pizza.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Sauté the Onion and Peppers: Add the sliced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add the smashed garlic to the pan.
- Add the Mushrooms: Add the sliced Portobello mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, about 5 minutes.
- Deglaze with Veggie Broth: Pour in the veggie broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the mixture simmer until the broth is mostly evaporated.
- Season: Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Spread the Roasted Garlic: Spread the mashed roasted garlic evenly over the pizza dough.
- Add the Sautéed Vegetables: Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the garlic.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the vegetables.
Step 4: Bake the Pizza
- Bake: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Crust (Optional}: I always melt 1 TBSP of butter and garlic powder to form a garlic spread and coat the crust all the way around. You will not be disappointed.
