Caramelized Onion Vegetarian Pizza

*Caramelizing the onions beforehand makes this pizza to-die-for!



This pizza tasted ten times better than it looks in this picture!

Ingredients

1 Pizza Crust
2/3 C Pizza Sauce
6 Oz Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2 C Spinach, pureed
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Pinch of Salt
1/2 Onion, cut into strips
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Handful Crushed Red Peppers
1/2 Bell Pepper, cut into strips
1 C Tomatoes, chopped
Parmesan Cheese

Directions

1. Heat a skillet on medium and add oil. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and saute until they begin to soften. Add garlic and crushed peppers and saute for another minute. Remove from heat.

2. Spread pureed spinach over the pizza crust. Add sauce, cheese, and all the toppings. Grate some Parmesan cheese over the top of the pie.

3. Bake in 425 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Serve with a salad.

Mom Tips:

Dad doesn't like tomatoes, so I dice them instead of slice them so he can tolerate them.

I like to hide pureed or chopped spinach on the bottom of our pizzas - it gives us a little extra punch of nutrition and no one ever notices that it's there.
