Olive & Roasted Red Pepper Pizza (with lemon)


Ingredients

Pizza Crust 
(I used the Betty Crocker crust mix that you just add water to, but you can use any crust you desire)
Olive Oil (approx 1 tbsp)
Kalamata Olives
Red Peppers (sliced in thin strips)
Fresh Oregano (chopped finely)
Slices of Lemon (in very small pieces - without the peel)
Feta Cheese
Lemon Zest
Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper

(The amounts of all the ingredients depend on your taste.  I went easy on everything, as not to overwhelm my taste buds, you can kinda tell by the photo below.)

Directions

Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust instructions.

Use the heated oven to roast your red peppers.  I just laid mine on a baking sheet with a light spritz of cooking spray until they started to get slightly charred on the edges. 

While your peppers are roasting, start by preparing and/or laying out your pizza crust out on a baking sheet.  

Spread olive oil over the surface of the pizza crust.

Add the olives, peppers, oregano, and lemon slices (and salt & fresh ground pepper to taste).

Bake for the amount of time according to the pizza crust instructions.

Add the feta cheese and lemon zest during the last 3 minutes of baking.

Let cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving.  Enjoy!





This recipe was inspired by an appetizer I tried at Table 45.
