Loaded Mediterranean Pizza
Super crispy Mediterranean Pizza loaded with veggies like caramelizing onions, fire roasted red peppers, marinated artichokes, mixed olives, spinach, mild herbs and feta cheese!
I absolutely love Trader Joe’s pizza crust! This light and fluffy pizza crust gets super crispy when baked at right temperature! It is my go to when it comes to quick weeknight pizzas. However I like incorporate as many veggies as possible in my meals. I like to make this mediterranean veggie mix loaded with caramelizing onions, fire roasted red peppers, marinated artichokes, mixed olives, spinach and mild herbs in my Lodge cast iron pan. I use that as Mediterranean Pizza topping, pizza sauce and decent amount of feta cheese to make Mediterranean Pizza. Bake it just right to make it nice and crispy and enjoy! Can you believe that all the ingredients I am using to make this pizza is from Trader Joe’s?!?!
This recipe is a great one for prepping ahead. I like to make the veggie topping on weekend and use that on busy weekdays to make quick and easy pizza which is full of nutrients and flavors! If you are vegan, you can skip the feta cheese or use “tofu feta” to add flavor and more protein!
My family loves having quick, warm and crispy pizza on busy weeknight! How about your family?!?!
Happy and Healthy Eating!
