Pesto Pizza with vegetable medley

When in doubt – pizza! CSA member Kathy Baer shared this “everything but the kitchen sink” pizza that she threw together with a medley of Root Radical veggies old and new. She says:

“It was ‘clean out freezer and fridge’ pizza day here. I found embarrassingly old pesto plus some eggplant slices in the freezer. I had peppers, zucchini and tomatoes from this week’s share. Jamie Oliver shared a reverse pizza recently with pesto right on the dough topped with dozens of cut cherry tomatoes. I added other veg and mozzarella, all on my own gluten-free crust. So yummy!”

This recipe is customizable to whatever vegetables you have on hand, of course. Thanks for the inspiration, Kathy!
