Three-Pepper Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
"Peperoni" means peppers in Italian (not to be confused with the American salami!). This pizza is born in the spirit of the "tricolore": red, yellow, and green peppers are not only visually striking but complementary in flavor. The green is tart, the red sweet, and the yellow juicy. It radiates a true summer vibe.

Instructions

1 ✓

Core the peppers and slice them into very thin rings or strips.

Tip: The thinner the slice, the better it cooks through, allowing the edges to brown slightly (caramelize).
2 ✓

Roll out the dough, spread with sauce, then season with salt and pepper.

Tip: The tomato base pairs well with peppers, highlighting their sweetness.
3 ✓

Arrange the colorful peppers on top.

Tip: Don't pile them up, or they will steam instead of bake.
4 ✓

Top with mozzarella slices.

Tip: If you put cheese over the peppers, it protects them from burning, but they will steam underneath. If you put peppers on top of the cheese, they roast better.
5 ✓

Drizzle with olive oil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: The oil helps release the carotenoids (color pigments) and spreads the flavors.
6 ✓

Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Tip: The fresh scent of the herb balances the sweetness of the roasted peppers.

Recipe FAQ

Do I need to peel the peppers?
It's not mandatory, but the skin can sometimes remain indigestible or tough. If you are sensitive to it, roast the peppers on a grill first and peel off the skin.
