Green Machine Pizza turns a family favorite into an easy way to enjoy more vegetables. Creamy pesto, melty mozzarella, broccoli, zucchini, and spinach come together on a golden pizza crust for a colorful meal that’s just as fun to make as it is to eat.

It’s also perfect for letting everyone customize their own mini pizza with the vegetables they like best.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup finely chopped broccoli
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced into thin coins
  • 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll or gently stretch each piece into a pizza disk.
  3. Spread each pizza with 2 tablespoons of pesto.
  4. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.
  5. Top with broccoli, zucchini, and spinach.
  6. Bake on a pizza stone or baking sheet for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Let cool slightly, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Using a pizza stone: Dust the preparation surface with cornmeal to help the pizza transfer easily to the stone.
  • Using a baking sheet: Assemble the pizza directly on the baking sheet to make transferring easier and avoid a mess.
  • Keep the spinach dry: Squeeze out as much water as possible after thawing to prevent soggy pizza.
  • Get creative: Try different green vegetables or let everyone choose their own combination of toppings.
