One of the reasons I love a hidden-veggie pizza is that it’s adaptable. And you can tinker with them to accommodate any dietary requirement or preference.
Make low-calorie or low-carbohydrate: If you’re cutting carbs, sub cauliflower crust for traditional pizza dough.
Toss in spices like oregano red pepper flakes for more bite. Use goat cheese instead of regular, if you want a tangy option.
Double the recipe and freeze them cubes. They reheat well for lunch the next day. Easy peasy.
Hidden veggie pizzas are a mix of indulgence and nutrition. They’re a great way to sneak more vegetables into your diet.
Try one tonight — and you’ll never go back.
