After a long day at work, I’m hungry for a satisfying supper. And I have to admit, it’s easy to pick up the phone and order a pepperoni pizza. But it’s usually loaded with calories and can get to be expensive too. So, I’m always happy to find a meal that’s quick to prepare, healthy and delicious. Take this Cheesy Vegetable Pizza recipe. It’s ready to eat in just 30 minutes. Plus, with only 270 calories and 12 grams of fat, it’s healthier than take-out!
We spread refrigerated dough with just a touch of olive oil then sprinkle on trio of savory spices. Melty mozzarella provides the ooey-gooey goodness we all crave. We skip the meat and opt for colorful bell peppers and red onion. Both are rich in antioxidants. Once cooked, top the pie with heart-healthy spinach. It turns out absolutely yummy. Give it a try then let us know what you think.
