If you like vegetable pizza than you will love this oven roasted veggie pizza, the recipe I’m sharing today for a blogging collaboration called #PizzaWeek.
I like vegetables, a lot. I always have. In fact, growing up when I got to choose my birthday dinner the main thing I would ask for was lima beans. (Really…lima beans? Does anyone even eat lima beans anymore?)
For someone who likes veggies, I’ve never been a huge fan of vegetable pizza. I’m sure we’ve all experienced those pizza chain pizzas with the rubbery tasting onions and peppers on top of a soggy crusted pizza lacking in flavor. I just always assumed that’s what vegetable pizzas were like. Thank goodness I grew out of that phase and wised up because one of my favorite things ever right now is Oven Roasted Veggie Pizza.
If there is one thing I like more than vegetables it would have to be oven roasted vegetables. What is it about roasting vegetables in the oven that makes them absolutely irresistible? Even vegetables my kids claim to not like they suddenly love when they are roasted.
I made this pizza for a #PizzaWeek blogging event put on by my friends at NoshOn.It. I was inspired by a little trip to Trader Joe’s and my love for veggies roasted in the oven. Sure, I took a few shortcuts with a pre-made crust (which was perfection, by the way) and a jarred garlic sauce (so tasty), but I swear I could eat this roasted veggie pizza every single day and never tire of it. It was that good.
I’m going to share my recipe below, but before I do that, make sure to visit the NoshOn.It site for a full week of pizza inspiration. A lot of talented bloggers are sharing some pretty amazing pizza creations – if you love pizza (and if you don’t, how can you not love pizza?) you won’t want to miss it!

These veggies! Swoon.

You should totally pick some up next time you are there. Wishing I would have bought several! If you love chewy and crispy crust, you’ll really like it!

I used to love lima beans too – haha. This looks so so good – can’t wait to give a try sometime soon!!

So funny is as I was writing this, my mom called and said they had pork chops with lima beans for dinner! So I guess people DO still eat lima beans 🙂

I am not much of a ‘regular’ pizza eater. I like ones made at home or gourmet ones at restaurants occasionally. I do like veggie ones. But I will have to say, your veggie one is perfectly splendid. Visually it really makes an impact.
