Broccoli Arugula Pizza
An easy, veggie-packed pizza recipe that is carnivore approved! A great option for an at-home pizza night or ‘meatless Monday’.
Ingredients
- 1 store bought pizza crust (*I do NOT recommend a super thin crust)
- 4 oz basil pesto
- 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 oz shredded parmesan cheese (or parmesan & romano blend)
- 1 medium head of broccoli
- 4 handfuls arugula (enough to cover the pizza to your liking)
- optional: pizza seasoning or dried oregano for sprinkling on top
- optional: pizza sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to temperature noted on your pizza crust
- Wash & cut broccoli florets into small pieces, place in a microwave safe bowl covered with saran wrap, & steam in the microwave (~3mins)
- While broccoli is cooking, place crust on a pizza pan & spread pesto across the top leaving a 1/2″ ring around the edge (your “crust”)
- Sprinkle half of your mozzarella over the pesto
- Add arugula over the mozzarella
- Once broccoli is cooked, drain & spread over the arugula*
- Top with mozzarella & parmesan. If adding additional seasoning, sprinkle across the top
- Cook per crust package directions & enjoy!
Notes
*At instruction step 6, we usually cut the broccoli into even smaller pieces after steaming using a kitchen shears before placing on our pizza
