Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade if you prefer)
- 1 cup mango, peeled and diced
- 1 ½ cups jack cheese, shredded
- ½ cup marinara sauce (optional, for a traditional base)
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
- If using a pre-made crust, place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet. For homemade, roll out your dough to the desired thickness.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the pizza crust to enhance the flavor.
- If you prefer a saucier pizza, spread the marinara sauce evenly over the crust.
- Distribute the diced mango evenly over the base, followed by the red onion and bell pepper slices.
- Generously sprinkle the shredded jack cheese over the top, covering the vegetables and mango.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the crust is crispy.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
- Slice into four equal pieces and serve hot.
