Ingredients

• 1 piece Whole wheat pizza base
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Baby bella mushrooms
• 1 cup Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red chili flakes (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or basil (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it's preheating.

Step 2

Brush the whole wheat pizza base lightly with olive oil to create a crispy crust and prevent sogginess.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and evenly spread them across the pizza base.

Step 4

Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce layer.

Step 6

Thinly slice the baby bella mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onion. Arrange them evenly across the pizza.

Step 7

Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, ground black pepper, and optional crushed red chili flakes over the toppings.

Step 8

Transfer the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden, and the crust is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil, and serve warm.
