Instructions

Prep

1Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat thoroughly.
2In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon zest, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat all vegetables evenly.

Assembly & Bake

1Lightly flour a pizza peel or baking sheet then carefully roll out the thin crust pizza dough to your desired shape and thickness (typically around 1/8 inch or 3mm). Make sure it's uniformly thin for that characteristic crisp.
2Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the dough, if using, then evenly distribute the lemon herb roasted vegetables on top. If desired, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the vegetables.
3Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Finish

1Remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle generously with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with fresh basil immediately after baking.
2Slice and serve your Lemon Herb Roasted Vegetable Thin Crust Pizza hot, allowing the fresh flavors to shine.

Tips

For an extra crispy thin crust, pre-bake the dough for 3-5 minutes before adding toppings, especially if your veggies are very moist.
Don't overcrowd the pizza with vegetables; a single, even layer allows them to roast properly and keeps the crust crisp.
