Farmer’s Market Veggie Pizza

I absolutely love my local farmer's market. Yes, I know, it's basic but you know what I'm not ashamed! Living in California's central valley, I'm so lucky that I have access to such amazing fresh produce. There's something so fun to me about wandering and letting the food speak to you. "What am I having for dinner tomorrow?" I wonder as I walk through the stalls, and these heirloom tomatoes said "bish... you're having a veggie pizza." So here we are. I used some frozen pizza crust and marinara from Trader Joe's and just grabbed as many fresh veggies as I could. I topped this pizza with zucchini, red onions, heirloom tomatoes, mushrooms, and olives. You can seriously top this with almost anything you want! I made Zach a version with prosciutto and he was absolutely in love. We had a lot of fun assembling our pizzas together; I can imagine this would be a fun recipe for a dinner party with friends or to make with kiddos.

Ingredients

• 2 Frozen Pizza Crusts
• 1 cup Marinara / Pizza Sauce
• 1 Zucchini
• 1/2 Red Onion
• 2 Heirloom tomatoes
• 1/2 cup Sliced Mushrooms
• 1/4 cup Sliced Black Olives
• 2 cup Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions

1. Thinly slice zucchini, onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Set aside. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Spoon the desired amount of pizza sauce onto pizza crust, spread to evenly coat crust. Add 1 cup of cheese to each pizza, or more if you want! Arrange veggies in a way that makes your heart happy.
3. Place the crust directly onto the oven rack (carefully) and bake for 8 - 10 minutes. *Pro tip: if you need help getting the pizza out of the oven, grab a baking sheet and flip it over so the flat side is facing up. Use a pair of tongs to gently grab one end of the crust and slide it onto the baking sheet.
