Who likes Brussels sprouts? These poor things have a bad wrap. The best way to rectify this is to put these little green globes on something that everyone loves. Pizza.
Ingredients
- Pizza dough (create your own, or buy it pre-made)
- 4 T olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 2 C Brussels sprouts, sliced
Directions
Saute Brussels sprouts in a T of olive oil over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes adding salt and pepper to taste. Note: if you use shredded moz instead of fresh, refrain from adding salt to the sprouts. In a separate pan, saute the garlic in the remaining olive oil over medium heat till the garlic starts to turn translucent.
Shape the pizza dough and spread the garlic olive oil on top. Use this instead of sauce. The sauted garlic provides a little sweetness to counteract any bitterness of the sprouts. Next cover the pizza dough with the cheese slices, covering the entire surface.
Then spread the sprouts over the surface of the pizza and pop into the oven for about 20 minutes or until the crust and cheese starts to brown. Pull out of the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before cutting, plating, and digging in.
This recipe is absolutely delicious. I could eat it every night.
For my pizzas I like adding cornmeal to the bottom of the pizza. It helps the crust to slide off, and it gives a little crunchy texture too. If you don’t have cornmeal, grits can work in a pinch.
The pizza looks great! Thanks for sharing your step here
i love pizza, i’ll try your recipe on my kitchen, thanks
