Equipment

pizza pan if using a home oven
Pizza stone optional

Ingredients

Rainbow Veggies

1 red bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 poblano pepper or green bell pepper
10 to 15 sun-dried tomatoes or fresh tomatoes, thinly sliced
3 purple potatoes as thinly sliced as possible

Rainbow Pizza Assembly

½ teaspoon olive oil
2 pizza dough balls about 300 grams each for 12 to 14 inch pizzas
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups (227 grams) shredded, low-moisture mozzarella

Instructions

Rainbow Veggies

At least one hour prior to making the pizza, prepare the roasted peppers. Wash and halve the peppers, remove the seeds and ribs, and put them cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet.
1 red bell pepper, 1 orange bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 poblano pepper
Broil the peppers a few inches from the broiler, keeping a close eye on them, until the skin blackens and starts to blister. Remove them from the oven, put them into a food-safe plastic bag or other air-tight container, and let them cool.
When ready to prep the rainbow pizza, turn your home oven on to max temperature (500℉ or over is ideal) with a pizza stone on a middle rack. Use your fingers to peel off the pepper skins and roughly chop the peppers.
Slice your fresh tomatoes if you are using them, and use a mandoline or very sharp knife to very thinly slice the potatoes.
10 to 15 sun-dried tomatoes, 3 purple potatoes

Rainbow pizza assembly

Lightly oil a pizza pan with olive oil, then stretch your dough ball into a circle at least twelve inches in diameter.
½ teaspoon olive oil, 2 pizza dough balls
Top each pizza with one half cup of pizza sauce and then sprinkle on one cup of shredded mozzarella. Top with your rainbow vegetables in stripes of rainbow color.
1 cup pizza sauce, 2 cups (227 grams) shredded, low-moisture mozzarella
Bake your rainbow veggie pizza on the pizza pan for about 10 to 15 minutes until the crust has browned and the cheese is bubbling. For a crisper crust, slide the pizza carefully off the pan directly onto the pizza stone for a minute or two.

Notes

This rainbow veggie pizza recipe will make two 12 to 14 inch rainbow pizzas. Nutritional information is only an estimate and will vary depending on your ingredients.

Click the links for my recipes for homemade pizza dough and homemade pizza sauce. Instructions and timing for this recipe may vary depending on which recipes you use.

Using low-moisture mozzarella instead of fresh helps prevent a soggy pizza crust.

If using an Ooni or other very hot outdoor pizza oven, it's even more important to slice the potatoes very thinly so they cook through.
