• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a pizza stone.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to the desired thickness and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 3

In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the garlic. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough.

Step 6

Distribute the sliced red onion, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes evenly over the sauce.

Step 7

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top of the vegetables.

Step 8

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are cooked.

Step 9

While the pizza is baking, toss the arugula with lemon juice in a bowl.

Step 10

Once the pizza is out of the oven, top it with the fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Step 11

Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the arugula as a cheese alternative for added flavor.

Step 12

Slice the pizza and serve immediately.
