This recipe is a re-imagining of one of our all-time favorite foods, pizza. It has all of the trappings of an indulgent veggie pizza slice, but on a stick! Skewers stacked with mushrooms, peppers, onions, and pizza dough are topped with Parmesan and dipped into a delicious tomato sauce. The added flavor boost from the herb oil takes them over the top. They’re sure to be a hit!
Serves: 4 people | Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 12 oz. pizza dough
- 1 lb yellow bell peppers
- 8 oz. cremini mushrooms
- 11 oz. red onion
- 1 Tbsp pizza spice blend
- 14 oz can chopped tomatoes
- 1½ oz. Parmesan
- 5 oz. baby arugula
- ½ oz. red wine vinegar
- all-purpose flour
- olive oil
- coarse salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 12, 8-inch wooden skewers
Directions:
- Prep ingredients: Preheat oven to 450°F with racks in top two positions. Keep dough refrigerated until step 2. Cut sides from bell peppers, discard stems and seeds, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Discard mushroom stems, wipe caps clean with a towel (cut in half if large). Trim ends from onion, then halve and peel. Cut ¾ of onion into 1-inch pieces; finely chop the rest.
- Assemble skewers: On a lightly floured board, roll dough into an 11-inch by 6-inch rectangle, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Lightly oil 2 rimmed baking sheets. Thread peppers, mushrooms, onions, and pieces of dough on skewers, alternating so that each skewer holds 2-3 pieces of each.
- Roast skewers: Transfer skewers to prepared baking sheets, brush lightly with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until vegetables and dough are cooked through and starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Switch oven to broil; cook until vegetables and dough on top rack are charred in spots, about 2 minutes (watch closely). Remove and broil second sheet on top rack.
- Make herb oil: Meanwhile, heat ¼ cup oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Transfer oil to a heatproof bowl, stir in 1½ teaspoons pizza spice blend, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Make tomato sauce: Return saucepan to medium-high and heat 1 teaspoon oil. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the can of chopped tomatoes, remaining pizza spice blend, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Grate Parmesan. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in 1/3 of the Parmesan.
- Finish: Toss arugula with vinegar and 2 tablespoons olive oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Brush skewers with herb oil and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Serve veggie pizza skewers with arugula salad alongside. Enjoy!
