Pizza Pie Guy

Just a cute way to get the children involved in making their pizza — including those great vegetables, too!

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

1 prepared pizza crust (preferably whole wheat)

Nonstick cooking spray

1 (24-ounce) jar spaghetti or pizza sauce

2 cups shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese

Oregano, parsley, pepper, and garlic to taste

1 cup steamed broccoli florets

1 olive

4 large carrots, grated

2 round zucchini slices

1 thin slice red pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Lay out pizza crust on a large piece of aluminum foil, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Cover pizza crust with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and spices.

4. Decorate with vegetables using grated carrots for hair and eyebrows. Use an olive for the nose, and broccoli florets for the eyes. Use red pepper slice for the mouth, and zucchini for the cheeks; or use different vegetable favorites and your imagination.

5. Cook pizza according to package directions.
