Recipe for Arugula Pizza

Pizza is one of those foods that will simply never go out of style, with so many fresh ingredients to use and the simplicity of it, Italians really had the right idea! Pizza can actually be pretty healthy if you top it with fresh ingredients and use dough that is mostly unprocessed. 

What Do You Put on Arugula Pizza?

• Mini pizza crust– Use a pita, naan, or any mini pizza crust.
• Pizza sauce – Use your favorite store bought or make my homemade pizza sauce which we LOVE!
• Mozzarella cheese – Shredded – shred your own. Pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt very well.
• Black olives – If you like them, if not, omit!
• Tomato – Seeded and diced.
• Fresh arugula – Of course!

How to Make Arugula Pizza

1. Prepare the pizza crust: Preheat oven to 450°F. Lay out pizza crusts or naan on cookie sheets with parchment paper to prepare for toppings.
2. Add toppings: Top crusts with your desired amount of sauce, cheese, olives, and diced tomatoes. Top with a handful of arugula for the finishing touch.
3. Bake the pizza: Bake your arugula pizza for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is evenly melted and the crust is hot. Once the pizza is fully baked and slightly cooled, slice it into wedges and serve.
