Vegetable Pizza - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 19

A vegetable pizza is a light weight pizza. A summery treat fresh from the garden. A variety of vegetables can be used. Red or green peppers can be used, if there is no food allergy to them. Diced yellow squash, zucchini, mushrooms, and onions are the staple of a vegetable pizza. Round vegetables, such as peas, might roll off. However, pre cooked green beans work. Corn adds a bit of a fall flavor. When preparing a vegetable pizza, include enough extra time to pick, wash, and slice the vegetables. Frozen vegetables will work. However, they need extra cooking time if frozen.
