I’ve got a quick, super-simple recipe to share with you today.
It’s quickly become one of my favorite dinners ever!
Pizza-Roasted Veggies
Ingredients:
Veggies of choice (zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, you name it!)
High-quality marinara sauce (Paesana is my favorite brand)
Raw goat cheddarDirections:
Preheat your oven to 350F. Rinse and chop up the veggies into bite-sized chunks:
I used zucchini this time around, but it’s delicious with any and all non-starchy veggies!
Transfer the veggies to a medium-sized mixing bowl, and toss them with enough marinara sauce to coat (instead of oil, like you would traditionally use for roasted veggies), then arrange the veggies into a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, then toss the veggies with a spatula and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until tender. (time varies depending on the veggies you’re using)
Remove the baking sheet, and shred the raw goat cheese over the top:
Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
Serve immediately!
I topped mine with a bit of nutritional yeast, for an extra-cheesy flavor!
Hope you try this the next time a pizza-craving hits!!!
How funny-I made a version of that just the other night and I swear I’d died and gone to heaven! I actually tossed the raw veggies with a bit of melted goat butter before roasting and then added the sauce at the end. And then I think I grated an entire wedge of cheese over the top…oops! Anyway, thanks for sharing!
YUM! Simple, love it!
Holy moly those look GOOD! I love easy recipes like this. I’ll definitely be giving this a try soon!
that looks so delicious! i just tried nutritional yeast and am obsessed – i can’t believe it took so long.
I’m pretty new to using the nutritional yeast, too! I love it!!
No cheese for me, though, but, oh dear, I so have to do this!
mmmm that looks amazing!!
question? can the green juice be blended together.
You can definitely blend your fruits and veggies to make a “green smoothie” but it’s a little different from juicing– when you make fresh juice, you are eliminating the fiber and giving your digestive system a rest.
Smoothies keep all the fiber, so you are still working the digestive system, though it is easier on your system because the blender has already “chewed” the food for you! Both options are great!
Awesome idea! I think this could get me to eat zucchini
I pretty much LIVE off of pouring spaghetti sauce and cheese over all my veggies! I’ve been feeling guilty about it…thinking I should keep it “clean” and use more herbs and spices – but God I’m addicted to the sauce and cheese…it’s low-salt sauce..;) – does that count?
This is great, I eat some variation of pizza roasted veggies a couple of times a week, especially in the cold weather. It’s sooooooo incredibly satisfying. Yum! I love goat’s cheese and tomato sauce. Such a genius combo!
THIS IS BRILLIANT. I cannot wait to try it. THANK YOU.
Seriously. My boyfriend gets thin-crust pizzas made with whole-wheat wraps for the crust ALL THE TIME and I sit by and jealously suffer. I’ve even occasionally stolen a few pieces of melted cheese from the baking sheet.
This is so brilliant. You have no idea how happy you have made me.
I tried this the other night, it was perfect!
I am making this tomorrow night!
Hope you enjoy! I think I could eat this every. single. night.
When you say “toss” a second time with spatula, do you mean flip them over or actually toss them in the sauce again, them put them back into the oven?
I flip them in the sauce that’s already in the pan, then return to the oven for the rest of the baking.
I just made these. WOW! They were so yummy. My non-veggie kids even ate them and asked for more. Thanks Megan! I am a recent (3 weeks) gluten free, vegetarian. I was having significant thyroid symptoms, with a properly functioning thyroid. I finally got tired of trying to convince my doctor that something was wrong, and started doing research. I decided to change my diet. I figured that it could not hurt, and maybe it would actually help. I am pleased to report that all symptoms have gone away and I am losing weight to boot. Your site has really helped me out. Good for you can also be good tasting. Thanks!!
I don’t know if I should thank you or be pissed because of you.
It’s summer here in France. The last past days were really hot (more than 30˚C) and I HAD to turn on my oven.
Why?
Because I got addicted to these roasted veggies and … the garden is full of fresh zucchinis.
So I have to make that recipe … almost every day. Can’t get enough of it.
Thank you
I literally had to fight my boyfriend for these! We’re both lactose free (and I’m doing the Candida cleanse) so while I made homemade marinara (tomato paste, garlic, onions and fresh herbs from the garden) for his pasta dinner, I used some to make these mini pizza’s with daiya cheese for myself and couldn’t beleive how much they actually tasted like pizza… YUM!
Made these tonight, used a tiny bit of smoked gouda ad we didnt have any goat mozza but it was amazing! the marinara with the zucchini was so yummy, you dont even need cheese!
I too made this with a homemmade sauce and Daiya cheese. What a great way to address pizza cravings! I’m very happy I found this recipe!
