Roasted Vegetable Pizza

(Makes 2)

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced in half then thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
8 ounces chopped mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

2 pizza shells

Method of Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, place 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the garlic, and tomatoes and toss well.  Set aside.
2. In a grill pan, place the pepper, zucchini, and onion. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil.  Toss and heat over the grill until the onions get a little charred, about 5 minutes.  Combine with the tomato mixture and season with salt and pepper.
3. Arrange the vegetables on the pizza shells, top with the mozzarella.  Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
4. Place pizzas on the grill until heated through and the cheese melts, sprinkling with the basil at the last minute.
