Zucchini & Goat Cheese Pizza

By mrslopes

Cheese pizza is a perennial veg favorite, but it often comes with a hefty calorie count. Here, goat cheese and thinly sliced veggies offer lighter alternatives to shredded mozzarella.

Ingredients

• Pizza
• 2 Tbs. olive oil, divided
• 8 oz. (1/2 pkg.) prepared refrigerated pizza dough
• 1 3.5-oz. log goat cheese, thinly sliced or roughly chopped
• 1 zucchini, peeled into thin strips
• 1 small red bell pepper, cut into rings
• Sauce
• 1 6-oz. can no-salt-added tomato paste
• 2 Tbs. finely minced onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp.)
• 2 tsp. dried oregano
• 2 tsp. olive oil
