How to Make Roasted Tomato And Basil Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roast the tomatoes: Halve the tomatoes and toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized.
- While tomatoes roast, prepare the pesto: Combine 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, the juice of 1/2 a lemon, and salt and pepper to taste in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Prepare the pizza dough: If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature. If making your own, follow your favorite recipe.
- Assemble the pizza: Spread the pesto evenly over the pizza dough. Arrange the roasted tomatoes over the pesto. Sprinkle with fresh mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the pizza: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra fresh basil leaves, if desired.
