Ingredients
3/4 cup low-sodium pizza sauce
1 large (12-inch) Italian pizza shell
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1 cup carrots, shredded
1/2 cup green bell pepper, sliced
5 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
Directions
Preheat your oven to 450°F and wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.
While the oven heats, prepare your vegetables: chop the broccoli into small florets, shred the carrots, and slice the green bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
Place the 12-inch Italian pizza shell on a baking sheet.
Spoon the low-sodium pizza sauce evenly across the pizza shell, spreading it to cover the surface while leaving a small border around the edge.
Arrange the chopped broccoli, shredded carrots, and sliced bell pepper over the sauce in an even distribution.
Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese over the vegetables, covering them as evenly as possible.
Bake in the preheated 450°F oven for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust begins to turn golden.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 3 minutes before cutting. This cooling time helps the cheese set and makes slicing easier.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the pizza into 8 wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Comments
This is a straightforward assembly recipe using ingredients universally stocked at Charlotte chains—pizza sauce, frozen or fresh shells, and common produce are all available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI without a second stop. The cost per serving runs roughly $1.50–$2.00 depending on whether you use a store-brand frozen shell and budget mozzarella, making it economical for a family. The stated 20 minutes is honest if you start with a pre-made shell, though it assumes your vegetables are already chopped; the dish works well as a weeknight dinner but leftovers reheat unevenly—cheese and toppings can dry out—so it's best eaten fresh the same night.
