Asparagus Pizza

This is a delicious vegetarian pizza. Roasting asparagus on top of a pizza in a super-hot oven makes it deliciously tender and a bit caramelised. You can use a gluten free pizza base too to accommodate those with gluten intolerances or allergies.

Serves 3-4 (makes 2 pizzas)

Ingredients:

Pizza bases (we like 58 Base pizza bases best!)

3 T olive oil, plus a little extra to trickle over.

500g asparagus, trimmed

2 onions, finely sliced

2 cups grated mozarella cheese

3/4 cup grated mature gouda cheese

Salt & pepper

Method:

1. Preheat the oven at 200C. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and add the onions. Once sizzling, reduce the heat to low and cook gently, stirring from time to time, until they are soft & golden, about 15 minutes. Season with salt & pepper.

2. Spread half of the onions over each pizza bases, then arrange the asparagus over the top. Scatter the mozzarella cheese & grated gouda over the asparagus. Season with salt & pepper.

3. Add a generous trickle of oil over the pizza and bake for 10-12 minutes until the base is crisp and the asparagus tender.

4. Serve hot, cut into slices.
