Ingredients

1 sprinkle flour for dusting
1 package pizza dough (or ready-to-bake pizza crust)
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic minced
½ cup pizza sauce
¾ cup dairy-free cheese
⅓ cup cherry tomatoes sliced
½ orange bell pepper diced
½ cup corn (canned or frozen)
½ green bell pepper or jalapeno diced
¼ red onion diced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450° F.
Lightly flour a flat surface and roll out your pizza dough according to package instructions. Shape as a long rectangle (so you'll be able to cut the finished pizza so piece includes all the veggies). Note: The width of your rectangle will be the length of each pizza slice.
In a small ramekin, mix together minced garlic and olive oil. Using a basting brush, brush over pizza dough, focusing especially on the outer crust.
Spread the pizza sauce over on your pizza dough. Then evenly sprinkle your cheese over the sauce.
Top with topping ingredients in rainbow order: red tomatoes, orange bell pepper, yellow corn, green bell pepper or jalapeno, green broccoli, and purple onion. Line each up lengthwise. If you'd like the most impactful rainbow effect, carefully flip the onion pieces so they lie colored side up.
Cook in a preheated oven, set to 450° F for about 15 minutes, or until the bottom is sufficiently browned (follow your specific pizza dough instructions). Sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if desired) and enjoy!

Notes

Storing Tips: Let the pizza cool before storing it. That helps keep it from getting soggy. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. You can also wrap slices in foil or parchment paper first. Try to eat it within 3 to 4 days for the best taste and texture.

Reheating: Pop it in the oven at 375°F for about 8 to 10 minutes to get the crust crispy again. You can also heat it in a skillet over medium heat with a lid on top. It helps melt everything evenly. Avoid the microwave if you can—it makes the crust a little chewy.

Can You Freeze It? Yes, you can! Freeze slices on a baking sheet first, then move them to a freezer bag. They’ll keep for 1 to 2 months in the freezer. Reheat frozen pizza in the oven without thawing for about 15 minutes at 375°F.
