Rainbow Vegetable Pizza Recipe Ingredients
- Pizza Dough – I love using the pre-made, refrigerated pizza dough from Trader Joe’s. It’s pretty affordable and the pizzas come out perfect every single time. I like to bake it at 500 degrees F until browned and this crust is perfectly chewy and crispy. You can also make your own pizza dough, or use a pre-cooked store-bought pizza crust, like Boboli.
- Marinara Sauce – Any kind of marinara, or red sauce will work. I was just at Trader Joe’s last week and picked up their fresh marinara sauce and it was good. You could also use pesto, or make this more of a white pizza and use Alfredo sauce.
- Mozzarella Cheese – I like to use shredded mozzarella for pizza, but any kind of cheese will work. You could use fresh mozzarella, parmesan, Monterey Jack or provolone. Vegan Cheese can easily be substituted for regular cheese.
- Oil Mixture – Since it is almost like we are roasting vegetables, by putting them on top of the pizza raw, I like to make a little mixture of olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano and salt. I then brush that on top of all the vegetables and it helps them brown nicely in the oven. This is totally optional though!
- Vegetables – You will want about a total of about 4-5 cups of vegetables, depending on how heavy you wanna go on the veggies. Here are a few color ideas for you:
- Red – Tomato, red pepper, cooked beets
- Orange – Orange bell pepper, carrot, cooked butternut squash or sweet potato
- Yellow – Corn, yellow pepper, pineapple, yellow squash
- Green – Broccoli, green pepper, green onion, zucchini, jalapeño, spinach
- Blue, Indigo, Violet – Kalamata olives, purple onion, cooked purple potatoes, eggplant, purple cabbage, radicchio
How To Make The Best Vegetarian Supreme Pizza
- Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees F. Roll your pizza dough into into desired size and shape. For this pizza, I like to do an oval so I can but the pizza in a way where each piece has all the rainbow colors on it. You can make the pizza crust whatever thickness you prefer. I roll mine about 1/2 an inch thick.
- Prick pizza dough with a fork all over, to prevent bubbles from forming. Grease a large sheet pan, or pizza pan, and place pizza dough on top of the pan. Spread evenly with marinara sauce and top with shredded cheese.
- Cut all your vegetables into small pieces. You can make them whatever size you like, I prefer smaller, bite sized pieces. Figure out what kind of rainbow design you are going to do, and then place your vegetables onto of the pizza.
- Add olive oil, granulated garlic, oregano and salt to a small bowl. Mix it together well and then use a cooking brush, or spoon, to drizzle the oil mixture lightly over the vegetables.
- Place pizza in the oven and bake until edges are browned and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Let pizza cool for 5-10 minutes, cut and enjoy.
