Quick, Light, and Easy Veggie Pizza

Ingredients:

1 Pre-made 12" whole wheat pizza crust

1/2 cup of pasta sauce (I used roasted garlic pasta sauce)

1 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

1 cup or more if you prefer of reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

1-2 cups of veggies of your choice chopped (my choices were: broccoli, bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms)

Pinch or two of freshly ground pepper

Pinch or two or granulated garlic

Optional: Pinch or two of romano cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly brush olive oil on both sides of pizza crust. Pour sauce on top of crust and evenly spread it on crust. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over crust. Then sprinkle veggies on top, followed by the freshly ground pepper and granulated garlic. Add a few sprinkles of romano cheese if you prefer. Place on oven rack or cookie sheet (middle position), for 7 1/2 to 10 minutes. You may also broil it at the end for a crisper crust, just be careful not to burn it.
