Ingredients

• 1 whole French bread loaf
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
• 1 small Yellow onion, sliced into thin rings
• 1 cup Mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 cup Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and set the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise and place it cut-side up on a baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic together. Brush this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.

Step 4

Prepare the vegetables by placing zucchini slices, red bell pepper strips, onion rings, and mushroom slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Grill the vegetables on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and tender. Remove them from the grill and set them aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over the garlic-infused bread halves.

Step 7

Top each bread half with an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Arrange the grilled vegetables over the cheese layer, spreading them out for even coverage.

Step 9

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables and mozzarella layer.

Step 10

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the bread pizzas from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped basil, if desired.

Step 12

Slice each bread half into smaller pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Veggie French Bread Pizza!
