Ingredients for Green pizza
- Mushrooms, very thinly sliced if raw, otherwise first sautéed
- Bell peppers, stems and seeds removed, very thinly sliced. I like to use yellow or red peppers for their sweet taste.
- Fresh soft mozzarella cheese, separated into small clumps
- Olive oil
- Green peas - so healthy! If frozen, make sure to thaw them first or dip in warm water first.
- Fresh basil leaves or any other fresh chopped herbs
- Onions, thinly sliced raw or caramelized
- Green pesto of any kind, I used basil pesto in this recipe but I also love a good zucchini pesto, yum!
How to make Green Pizza
- Make this pizza with my gluten free pizza dough recipe.
- Brush the prebaked crust with olive oil (leave the edges untouched) and spread pesto sauce in an even layer.
- Add mushrooms (if raw, cut very thin slices or sautee prior), bell peppers, peas, onion slices.
- Add mozzarella cheese or alternatively, you can place the cheese in the bottom of the toppings.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese melted, the pizza crust is crispy, and golden brown around the edges.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves and enjoy!
Tips for making the best gluten free pizza
- Pizza dough - I prefer making my homemade pizza dough recipe to use for this recipe because it has been tested and proven to be delicious!
- Fresh ingredients - like in most of the recipes, using fresh ingredients will make your pizza or any recipe, tastier. And if you’re planning to freeze the ready-made pizza, then fresh ingredients will last longer and after defrosting and baking again will taste as they are made on the same day.
- Crunch crust - if you want even crunchier pizza, simply bake it for a few minutes more than as instructed.
- Herbs - sprinkle fresh chopped herbs on your baked pizza, it adds so much to it!
- Make it hot - add your favorite spices, chili oil, tabasco, or fresh chili pepper or flakes to your pizza.
How to store and freeze green pizza
If you have some leftover pizza (seriously, who would?) and already cooked pizzas, refrigerate them for up to two days wrapped in cling film and placed in an airtight bag or container.
Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
