Veggie Pizza Recipe and Tips

Who knew veggies could taste so good?!

This recipe is barely a recipe at all. Anything can be substituted or omitted.

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough (I used this recipe, it was good!)
Handful of Broccoli
Handful of Spinach
Half an Eggplant, diced
3 small summer squash (Ours are from are garden and super puny, but we love them!)
1 can artichoke hearts, diced
Small container of Goat Cheese or Feta Cheese
1 TSP Minced Garlic
3 TBSP Olive Oil
Chopped Black Olives


  1. Preheat Oven to the temperature noted on your dough recipe.
  2. Heat Olive Oil on medium high heat.
  3. Add garlic and Sautee until soft.
  4. Add broccoli, spinach, eggplant, artichoke, and summer squash. Sautee until soft.
  5. Roll out dough.
  6. Add sauteed veggies and top with desired amounts of cheese and olives.
  7. Now you have two options: Precook your crust or add the toppings directly to the pizza. I precooked my crust for 5-6 minutes.
  8. Bake pizza for the time mention in the dough recipe.
  9. Enjoy!
Yum! We did black olives on half because as much as I love them, Nick hates them.
