Easy Zucchini & Corn Grilled Naan Pizza: In the Oven or On the Grill, It’s All Good!

You can make this pizza on the grill or in the oven. Both turn out fabulously well. I buy my naan at the grocery store and top it with some olive oil, Parmesan, ricotta cheese, red onions, sliced zucchini and fresh summer corn! Pop it onto the grill or directly into a hot oven and a few minutes later you can enjoy a feast! You can add leftover roasted chicken or store bought rotisserie chicken if desired!

How I Add Greens to My Pizzas!

When I make pizzas I usually toss arugula with a little extra virgin olive oil, add a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice, toss with sea salt and pepper and place heaps of it on top of each slice. It’s a vegetable extravaganza!
