Substitute any favorite seasonal vegetables for those listed here. Grilling the veggies brings out their sweetness, which compliments the spicy balsamic sauce. You might also vary the cheese -- provolone and feta would be good choices -- for a different effect each time you make this recipe.

Ingredients

  • FOR GRILLED VEGETABLES:
    2 tablespoons olive oil

    1 tablespoon soy sauce

    1/8 teaspoon Frontier Co-op Garlic Powder

    1 small green pepper, sliced

    1/2 small eggplant, sliced in rounds and then in half

    1/2 small red onion, cut in small wedges

    8 grape tomatoes, halved

     

    FOR TOMATO SAUCE: 

    1/2 cup tomato paste

    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

    1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op Oregano 

    1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op Sweet Basil 

    1/4 teaspoon Frontier Co-op Marjoram

    1/4 teaspoon Frontier Co-op Rosemary 

     

    CRUST & CHEESE: 

    Crust for one 12-inch pizza (homemade or ready-made)

    1 1/3 cups grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese

     

Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees.

    2. Combine the olive oil, soy sauce and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush this mixture on all of the vegetables. Grill each of the vegetables until nicely browned and tender. Set aside.
