Pizza has been one of our favorite foods since we were kids. It is a staple of the childhood diet, but health wise it isn’t always up to par. Switch out some ingredients, throw on some veggies, and make your pizza healthy and delicious. We fell in love with this recipe the moment we saw it, and can’t wait to try it out soon! Introducing Roasted Asparagus and Fontina Pizza.
This healthy take on pizza offers lots of nutritional benefits. Asparagus is full of aminoacids, vitamins, and minerals. One of these aminoacids is a natural diuretic, meaning it helps you release retained fluid, so there is virtually no post-meal bloat. Using a whole wheat dough for the crust adds a good source of fiber to the meal, keeping you full and satisfied for a longer period of time after eating. It also looks mouthwateringly delicious. Basically, this pizza is a win-win-win situation.
When you head to the store, pick up the ingredients and get the pizza party started!
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces asparagus
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
