Roasted Vegetable, Feta Cheese, and Fresh Basil Pizza

Roasted Vegetable, Feta Cheese, and Fresh Basil PizzaIt was another busy day and I didn’t feel like making a big meal for dinner. I had pizza dough to use up in the refrigerator so I decided to make a pizza. I roasted some mushrooms, tomatoes, and red onion in the oven before putting them on the pizza then added the feta cheese and fresh basil on top right before serving. It turned out so delicious, I can’t believe I’ve never tried roasted veggie pizza before. This was a simple, quick, and delicious dinner with very little clean-up. This pizza pairs nicely with my house salad with Fran’s vinaigrette.
