Ingredients

• 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, about 12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, sliced into thin rounds Zucchini
• 1 medium, sliced into thin strips Bell pepper
• 1 small, sliced into rings Red onion
• 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 0.25 cup, torn Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using an oven, preheat to 450°F.

Step 2

Lightly oil the grill grates or a grill pan to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 5

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Brush one side of the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Carefully place the oiled side of the dough directly on the grill grates. Close the grill lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the dough is lightly puffed.

Step 7

Flip the dough using tongs or a spatula. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the grilled side of the dough.

Step 8

Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the sauce, followed by the grilled vegetables.

Step 9

Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If using an oven, bake the assembled pizza directly on a pizza stone or baking sheet for 8-10 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the grill or oven and transfer it to a cutting board.

Step 11

Garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately.
