Roasted Veggie Pizza
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 15 min.
YIELD: 8 slices.
A bold, flavorful garlic and basil pesto sauce is an awesome change of pace from traditional tomato-based pizza sauce. Roasted vegetables are a fantastic topping. Whenever I serve it alongside a standard meat pizza, this one's always the first to go!
