Spicy Cajun Pizza Recipe with Vegetables
If you like your pizza recipes to have a bit of bite and the thought of a vegetarian equivalent to spicy buffalo chicken pizza sounds good, what about making a Cajun vegetable pizza recipe? This delicious pizza is topped with garlic, onion, bell peppers, and Monterey Jack cheese, and a sprinkling of Cajun seasoning adds some spice. If you want extra spice, feel free to add some jalapenos or half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the sautéed onion mixture. If not, you can always serve hot sauce on the side so that people who like additional heat can add their own. This is a colorful grilled pizza recipe and it is perfect for vegetable fans.
You can experiment with other toppings on this vegetarian spicy buffalo chicken pizza if you want to. What about trying some cauliflower or broccoli florets? You will have to sauté those first to make them tender, but this is a great way of adding nutritional value to your grilled pizza recipe. Cauliflower and broccoli also add visual appeal and flavor and they go well with the spicy flavor.
Serve this delicious Cajun grilled pizza recipe with a side salad and perhaps some garlic bread if you want a complete meal. Alternatively, like with a lot of grilled pizza recipes, this pizza would be good for a buffet. Simply cut it into wedges to serve it. Another idea would be to make a rectangular or square pizza because it is easier to cut into portions. This obviously depends on the shape and size of your grill.
