Notes
- •Layering the cheese over the raw veggies will help them cook; the melting cheese essentially steams the veggies in the microwave. If you prefer softer veggies, they can be steamed before being put on the pizza.
- •A tomato sauce with added flavors will be a nice kick to this pizza; also, mild salsa will add a different flavor.
- •Many sliced cheeses come in low-fat varieties and could be substituted for mozzarella. Or you could mix and match.
- •Veggie pizza is a great way to get your daily servings of veggies. A mix of veggies such as greens (spinach, broccoli), seeded (zucchini, peppers, tomatoes), and roots/fungi (onion, garlic, mushroom) will complement each other if used in variety.
