Why This Dish Is A Crowd Favorite
This dish offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. The honey-glazed carrots add a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the tangy goat cheese. It’s a unique twist on traditional pizza that feels fresh and satisfying.
Step 1
Lightly heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining two baking sheets with foil. Toss the carrot slices with a teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and do the same with the red onion on a separate sheet. Pop both trays into the oven and roast for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the veggies are roasting, mix together the goat cheese, egg yolk, garlic, and lemon zest in a bowl until it’s smooth. Season with a little salt and pepper, then set it aside.
Step 3
Once the carrots and onions are out of the oven, drizzle the carrots with honey and give them a gentle toss. Turn up your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 4
Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over your pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Arrange the honey-glazed carrots on top, then sprinkle over the roasted red onions.
Step 5
Bake the pizza for 13 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and just starting to brown. While it’s baking, toss some arugula with the remaining olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 6
Slice up the pizza and either pile the dressed arugula on top or serve it on the side for a fresh, peppery bite.
