These easy mini vegetable pizzas are fun, colorful, and perfect for kids to assemble. They come together quickly with simple ingredients and offer a delicious way to sneak in veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Mini pizza bases: Pre-made mini pizza crusts or small pita breads
  • 1 cup (240 ml) tomato sauce (marinara or pizza sauce, preferably low-sugar and seasoned with garlic and herbs)
  • 1 ½ cups (150 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced (red or yellow)
  • ½ cup (75 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup (30 g) black olives, sliced (optional)
  • ½ cup (60 g) finely chopped spinach or kale
  • 1 small carrot, grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the crusts)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and prepare the vegetables: dice bell pepper, halve cherry tomatoes, slice olives, chop spinach or kale finely, and grate the carrot. Keep them in separate bowls.
  3. Arrange mini pizza crusts or pita breads on a baking sheet and lightly brush each with olive oil.
  4. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of tomato sauce evenly over each mini crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons (20-30 g) of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each pizza.
  6. Top with chosen vegetables, layering tomatoes and bell peppers first to help toppings stick.
  7. Lightly sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and pepper over each pizza. Optionally, add a few drops of olive oil for a richer crust.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden and crust is crispy.
  9. Let the mini pizzas cool for a few minutes before serving to help the cheese set.

Notes

Brush crust with olive oil to keep it crispy. Avoid overloading with sauce to prevent soggy crust. Freshly shredded mozzarella melts better than pre-shredded. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly. Let pizzas rest a few minutes after baking for easier handling.
