Roast the vegetables
- Preheat the oven to 450F. Toss the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the vegetables on a sheet pan in an even layer. Roast for 15-18 minutes at 450F until caramelized.
Assemble and bake the pizza
- Roll out the pizza dough on a parchment-lined sheet. Brush the dough with the remaining olive oil.
- Spread the pizza sauce over the dough. Top with the roasted vegetables, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly over the pizza. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 450F until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Finish the pizza with fresh basil and a balsamic glaze drizzle. Let it rest briefly, then slice and serve.
Notes
For the most blistered crust, roast the vegetables until they’re browned but not dry, then keep toppings drained so the crust doesn’t get soggy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days; reheat on a sheet pan at 450F until hot. Freezing isn’t recommended for best texture. If you want a lighter option, use part-skim mozzarella (or a low-moisture mozzarella) to reduce calories while keeping melt and stretch.
