    Summer Sweet Corn & Zucchini Pizza

    OMG you guys. This pizza. I can't even.

    Summer may be coming to a close, but pizza ain't goin anywhere. This za is off the charts. Wicked good. Freaking tasty. Fantastically foodgasmic. Have I made myself clear?

    It's a vegetarian's dream. Even my meat-loving boyfriend devoured it. Bite after bite of melty cheesy goodness and summer's best veggies....pizza pie perfection.  I only had one measly piece left for lunch today. Wahhh.

    I always look so forward to pizza night. Invite your roomies or your boyfriend/girlfriend and throw a pizza party. Some one can grab the crust and cheese and some one else can grab the yummy toppings. It's a pretty cheap dinner, and let's be real...who doesn't love making homemade pizza?

    Whole Foods makes these fabulous pre-made whole wheat pizza crusts that actually don't taste like cardboard.  The package comes with two, so it's always fun to make two different pies and see which one's better. With the sweet corn and tangy feta, you can guess which one won this time. It's crazy how much more amazing everything tastes when you use produce that's in season.

    I used fresh sweet corn and zucchini from the Garden of Hope, but feel free to use frozen corn if you're in a pinch. The four cloves of garlic really take the flavor up a notch, so don't skimp. You have absolutely no excuse to NOT make this pizza pie right now. I mean I may or may not make it again tomorrow. Is that weird?

    Step aside pepperoni....there's a new za in town.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 tbsp olive oil + more for drizzling on crust
    • 1 medium zucchini, diced
    • 2 ears of corn, kernals removed (about 1 cup)
    • ½ red onion, sliced thin
    • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
    • 1 prepared whole-wheat pizza crust (I used one from Whole Foods)
    • 1 heaping cup shredded mozzarella
    • ⅓ cup crumbled feta
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to temperature indicated on pizza crust package.
    2. Heat a tbsp of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add zucchini, corn, red onion, and half of the garlic. Sautee for about ten minutes, or until veggies are softened.
    3. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over pizza crust and add the other two cloves of minced garlic. Layer half of the mozzarella cheese followed by all of the veggie mixture, followed by the remaining mozzarella and feta. Season with a hefty dash of salt and pepper.
    4. Bake for time indicated on pizza crust, or about 12-14 minutes (until cheese is just starting to turn light brown).

      Yummy! That looks so good. I like to cook my pizzas on a stone to get the crust evenly baked and crispy. Thatโ€™s what makes the perfect pizza.

        Funny story about that Trader Joe's crust...I've bought the whole wheat one a couple times and I don't know what I was doing wrong but I had to cook that thing FOREVER! It seriously took soooo long to be cooked through, that's why I've resorted to using the pre-baked whole-wheat ones from Whole Foods. I hope it worked out better for you!

          I had to stop back and let you know the crust took forever to cook for me too! At first I thought I put too many toppings on, but I guess maybe it was the crust. I finally took the pizza out at about a half hour and just ate it. It tasted good, but definitely could have been cooked longer. I'll have to try the Whole Foods ones next time.
