Healthy Recipes | Zucchini and Caramelized Onion Pizza

White pizzas tend to be drier than red, so it’s good to include ingredients that add moisture, as in this one topped with a tangle of summer squash and sweet caramelized onions.

The tough thing about staying healthy in this day and age is the amount of unhealthy foods available to us. Unhealthy eating has become a habit for many people. Foods are convenient and appealing, but they are destroying our health. Sadly, many people do not realize how unhealthy these foods can be for their bodies. They want food that is fast and easy, and in many cases they are actually addicted to the bad ingredients found in these foods. Salt and sugar and other chemicals get into our systems and leave us wanting more and more. No matter how much we eat, our bodies are always deprived and addicted to bad things.

This healthy pizza recipe packs a hefty amount of vitamin C, vitamin B, potassium, and phytochemicals, which may help in providing protection against cancer. Our zucchini bell pepper pizza recipe is packed with healthy ingredients and is a great alternative to common delivery pizza. It cost less and tastes just as great, if not better than regular delivery piza. Does your family celebrate the end of the week with a movie and pizza night? This Friday, give our healthy pizza a try.

The good news is you can eat your favorite foods without these negative consequences. This pizza is an example and so are our healthy fries and delicious burgers. Eating healthy does not require sacrifice and these recipes prove it!

Ingredients

• 1 cup coarsely grated scamorza (not smoked)
• Flour for the peel
• 2 8-oz. balls pizza dough (homemade or store-bought) at room temperature
• Flaky sea salt
• Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• Nutritional Information
• 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
• 1 small zucchini, trimmed and thinly sliced or shaved lengthwise
• 1 small yellow squash, trimmed and thinly sliced or shaved lengthwise
• 1 cup coarsely grated mozzarella
• 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• Kosher salt
• 2 small cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbs. thinly sliced fresh chives

Instructions:

1. First, Put a pizza stone on the lowest rack of the oven, heat the oven to 550°F, and let the stone heat for at least a half-hour.
2. Second, In a 12-inch skillet, heat 1 Tbs. of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and well browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
3. Next, In a large bowl, combine the remaining 2 Tbs. olive oil with the garlic, chives, thyme, and a good pinch of salt. Add the zucchini and squash and toss to coat. In a small bowl, combine the two cheeses.
4. Lightly flour a pizza peel. Stretch one dough ball into a 10- to 11-inch round and transfer it to the peel. Top with half of the caramelized onion and just enough cheese to cover the onion. Top with half of the zucchini and squash, alternating colors and direction and slightly overlapping them; the squash does not have to cover the whole pizza. Sprinkle with a little more (about 1/2 cup) of the cheese.
5. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone and bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is nicely browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and sprinkle with sea salt and crushed red pepper flakes, if using. Repeat to make the second pizza.
