Servings: 1 pizza
Ingredients
For the pizza
- 1 gluten-free pizza crust
- ½ red onion
- ½ fennel or red pepper
- Tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoon Italian dried herbs (e.g., basil, oregano, thyme, majoram, sage)
Toppings (optional)
- 1 handful arugula (or fresh basil)
- Balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or as indicated on the package directions if using a store-bought pizza crust.
- Peel the onion, cut it in half and then in slices. Wash the fennel (or red pepper) and cut it into very thin strips.
- Roll out the pizza dough onto a baking sheet and prick the bottom with a fork. Place it on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes (or as indicated on the package).
- Heat a large pan or skillet with olive oil. When hot, add the onion and fennel and caramelize over medium-high heat. Stir regularly to prevent them from burning. It should take about 10 minutes until they are cooked and golden brown.
- Take the pizza crust out of the oven. Top it with tomato sauce and dried herbs. Add the caramelized vegetables and bake for 5-8 more minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven, top with some fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
