Asparagus Pizza
Asparagus Pizza
My go-to cooking method for asparagus is to toss it in some olive oil and stick it on the grill. And while that is certainly delicious, this time I wanted to think out of the box a bit and try something different with one of my favorite spring vegetables. The result? Asparagus pizza!

Ingredients
- 6-8 stalks asparagus, cut on the bias into one-inch pieces
- salt and pepper, to taste
- flour, for dusting
- 1 package whole-wheat pizza dough, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
- 8 ounce fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- parmesan, to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Liberally season the asparagus with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Using a rolling pin dusted with flour, roll out the pizza dough to the desired shape. (Since I was baking on a cookie sheet, I made a rectangular pizza, but any shape works.) Place dough on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Top the dough with the mozzarella, and then add the asparagus and red onion on top of the cheese.
- Bake in oven until crust is golden and cheese is hot and bubbly, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with Parmesan, cut into slices, and serve immediately.
