**Game Night Veggie Pizza**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pre-made pizza dough
– 1/2 cup marinara sauce
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
– 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
– 1/4 cup sliced red onions
– 1/4 cup sliced black olives
– 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the Oven:** Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. **Prepare the Dough:** Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
3. **Add the Sauce:** Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
4. **Layer on the Cheese and Veggies:** Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Then, top the pizza with the sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, red onions, black olives, and cherry tomatoes. Feel free to customize the toppings to your preference.
5. **Drizzle with Olive Oil:** Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste. The olive oil will help the veggies roast beautifully in the oven.
6. **Bake to Perfection:** Place the prepared pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
7. **Garnish and Serve:** Once the pizza is out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and extra flavor. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
