Ingredients

• 1 ball (about 12-16 oz) Pizza dough
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 1 small (sliced into thin rounds) Zucchini
• 1 (sliced into strips) Red bell pepper
• 1 small (sliced into rings) Red onion
• 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.25 cup (for garnish) Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons (for rolling dough) All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a bowl, toss the zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Grill the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes on each side until tender and lightly charred. Remove them and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean countertop and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper to make it easier to move.

Step 7

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges as the crust.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 9

Arrange the grilled vegetables on top of the cheese, distributing them evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle dried oregano over the vegetables for added flavor.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 12

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
