Ingredients

• 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough (low sodium)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted tomato sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (no salt added)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (no salt added)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 cup Zucchini (thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cup Bell peppers (assorted colors, thinly sliced)
• 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 cup Low sodium shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Set aside.

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the low-sodium whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 4

Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to help create a golden crust.

Step 5

Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded low-sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce layer.

Step 7

Top the pizza with thinly sliced zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, fresh spinach, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 8

Season the vegetables lightly with fresh ground black pepper for added flavor.

Step 9

Using the parchment paper as a guide, carefully transfer the prepared pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into 6 even pieces.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium vegetable pizza slice!
