Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup pizza sauce (or opt for pesto for a flavorful twist)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup green zucchini, thinly sliced

1/2 cup purple cabbage, finely shredded

1/4 cup black olives, sliced

1/4 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh basil leaves, for garnishing

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). This high temperature will help achieve a perfectly crispy pizza crust.

    Prepare the Pizza Crust: If using a store-bought crust, roll it out onto a lightly floured pizza stone or a baking sheet. For homemade dough, follow your specific recipe's preparation instructions for best results.

      Spread the Sauce: Take your pizza sauce (or pesto) and evenly spread it across the crust, ensuring to leave a small border along the edge to form a delightful crust.

        Layer the Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauced crust, ensuring it is well-covered for that gooey texture.

          Add the Veggies: Here's the colorful part! Artfully layer the diced red and yellow bell peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced zucchini, shredded purple cabbage, sliced black olives, and corn on top of the cheese. Feel free to create a rainbow pattern to make your pizza visually stunning.

            Season Everything: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle this seasoned oil over the vibrant veggies to amplify their flavors.

              Bake the Pizza: Carefully place your beautifully decorated pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust is gloriously golden brown.

                Garnish: Upon removing the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes. Then, scatter fresh basil leaves across the top for a burst of freshness and aroma.

                  Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve while hot. Delight in the satisfying crunch and vibrant flavors with every bite!
