Microgreen Pizza

Microgreens taste fantastic when added with pizza. Not only are they healthy, but their concentrated flavor in their small leaves makes them a perfect garnish. 

However, cooking microgreens can lower the nutritional value, so the best way to prepare microgreens for a pizza are to apply them afterwards. This recipe includes a recommended flavorful way to add them as a garnish. 

Microgreen Pizza

Ingredients

  • Pizza dough, either store bought or homemade, with the desired amount
  • Grated mozzarella cheese, enough to cover the pizza dough
  • Tomato sauce, enough to cover the pizza dough
  • Enough microgreens to thinly cover the pizza evenly (we recommend Basil or Daikon Radish)
  • Splash of olive oil
  • Splash of lemon juice
  • Sprinkle of Parmesan cheese

Toppings such as mushrooms, pepperoni, or olives may be added as desired.

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Roll out the pizza dough and place it on a lined baking sheet.
  • Spread out the tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese evenly on the pizza dough and add any desired toppings.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes.
  • While the pizza bakes, begin to prepare the microgreens in a separate bowl drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  • Once the pizza has finished baking, spread the microgreens over the pizza.
  • Optionally, the pizza may be additionally garnished with basil microgreens separately.
