Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

- Drizzle the olive oil over the arranged vegetables, enhancing their flavors during baking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring a well-rounded flavor.
- Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh chopped basil.
- Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to let the flavors meld.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with any vegetables you have on hand, such as mushrooms or spinach.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pizza dough.
