Pizza with Pepper, Onion, and Feta

Here is a recipe to use up your bell peppers that are now abundant in the garden. Plus it's pizza!

12-inch thin pizza crust (homemade or prepared such as Boboli)
3 cups chopped bell peppers (red, green, and yellow)
1 cup sliced red or yellow onion, pulled into rings
3 cloves of garlic, crushed (or heaping tsp of minced from a jar)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 ½ tsp (or more) Italian seasoning
Salt, to taste
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
¾ cup (4 ounces) crumpled herbed feta cheese

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Lay crust on pizza pan or cookie sheet.
In a bowl combine remaining ingredients except cheese.
Spoon over crust, top with cheese the bake 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are crispy-tender.

¼ of the pizza is about 300 calories, 10 grams of protein, 40 grams of carb, 10 grams fat (4 g. sat), and contains many antioxidants from all the vegetables.

She considers this one of the healthiest recipes in her history as a columnist. Looks healthy…and good.
