Gourmet Roasted Veggie Pizza and Sweet Potato Fries

On to the recipe!




To make the pizza crust, I simply followed this recipe but added my own twist by adding to the dough:

  • 3 Tbs  finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 Tbs fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves finely chopped garlic
  • 1 tsp sea salt
