# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's guilt-free pizza that tastes indulgent because of all those melted cheeses and crispy edges.
  • The prep is actually fun when you're arranging vegetables like you're painting a rainbow.
  • Your kids will eat their vegetables without protest when they see them arranged in color order.
02 -
  • Blanch your broccoli before adding it or it'll dry out in the oven and turn dark instead of staying that vibrant green that makes the rainbow work.
  • Don't skip the parchment paper, because nothing ruins a beautiful pizza like discovering it's stuck to the baking sheet.
03 -
  • Keep your vegetables roughly the same size when chopping so they cook evenly and look intentional, not haphazard.
  • If you're short on time, buy pre-cut vegetables from the salad bar, because fresh and beautiful matters more than made-from-scratch.
