Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup roasted garlic
Cheese and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crush and spread roasted garlic across the entire pizza crust surface, ensuring even distribution.
- Layer fresh spinach leaves generously over the garlic-coated base, creating a vibrant green foundation.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese to cover the spinach, creating a creamy white layer that will melt beautifully.
- Dust Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella for an enhanced tangy flavor profile.
- Lightly scatter red pepper flakes across the pizza for a subtle spicy kick.
- Season with a delicate pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance overall taste.
- Transfer the prepared pizza to a preheated 425F (220C) oven, positioning it in the center rack.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for golden-brown cheese edges and a fully melted, bubbly surface.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow cheese to set slightly.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately while hot and crisp.
Notes
- Perfectly roast garlic beforehand by cutting the top off a whole bulb, drizzling with olive oil, and wrapping in foil to create a sweet, mellow flavor that won’t overpower the pizza.
- Prevent soggy crust by patting fresh spinach leaves dry with paper towels, removing excess moisture that could make the base soggy during baking.
- Customize this pizza for different diets by using gluten-free cauliflower crust for low-carb options or dairy-free cheese alternatives for vegan variations.
- Enhance the flavor profile by adding a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil after baking and sprinkling fresh herbs like basil or oregano for an extra aromatic touch.
