Roasted Vegetable Pizza

If you love pizza on a Friday night, then you need to try our roasted vegetable pizza recipe this week! The ingredients below make one single-serving pizza, so if you want to make a bit more just bump up the ingredients!

Ingredients (makes 1 small pizza):

• 100g pumpkin, peeled and cut into 1.5cm pieces

• ½ red capsicum, deseeded and cut into 1.5 cm pieces

• ½ medium zucchini, sliced into 1cm rounds

• ½ tsp dried oregano

• 3 tsp olive oil

• sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste

• 1 wholemeal pita bread

• 1-2 tbsp tomato paste or tomato passata

• ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced

• 40g low-fat feta, crumbled

• ½ tsp balsamic vinegar

• 1 small handful rocket leaves.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350 °F) and line a baking tray with baking paper. 

2. Place the pumpkin, capsicum, zucchini and oregano in a bowl. Add two teaspoons of oil and toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Transfer the vegetables to the lined baking tray.

3. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, then remove the zucchini and transfer to a plate. Turn the pumpkin and capsicum with tongs and return to the oven to cook for a further 8-10 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender and the capsicum is a little charred on the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside.

4. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400 °F) and reline the baking tray with baking paper.

5. Lay the pita bread on the lined baking tray and spread over the tomato paste or passata. Scatter over the onion, pumpkin, capsicum and zucchini and top with the crumbled feta. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the toppings are hot. 

6. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining oil and balsamic vinegar together in a small bowl. Just before serving the pizza, toss the rocket in the oil and balsamic mixture to coat.

7. To serve, cut the pizza into quarters. Place on a serving plate and top with the rocket.
