Spicy Vegetarian Pesto Pizza

Preheating the Oven Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

Marinating the Vegetables In a bowl, mix olive oil, red chili flakes, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Toss to coat the vegetables in the spicy marinade and let them sit for 10 minutes to marinate.

Preparing the Pizza Dough Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Place the dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Topping the Pizza with Pesto Sauce Spread the pesto sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Adding the Vegetables and Olives Evenly distribute the marinated vegetables over the pesto sauce. Sprinkle black olives on top.

Cheese Topping Top the vegetables with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.

Baking the Pizza Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Finishing Touches Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves on top. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
