I Beat the Heat with Roasted Veggies and Pizza on the Grill!

 It's been so hot that I haven't wanted to heat up the oven.

So I decided to make some roasted vegetables and a 

thin-crust pizza on my grill!

I used a big, heavy cast iron pan to layer some veggies.  I cut up green cabbage, snap peas, carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers.  We love cauliflower too, but didn't have any in the fridge.

I coated them with canola oil (you could use some olive oil) and then a nice sprinkling of coarse salt and pepper. Then on to the grill they went!

I pre-heated the grill to 400 degrees and stirred the veggies every 6-8 minutes.  They were done in about 20 minutes.

I made a quick pizza dough in my small food processor 

(1 1/2 cups flour, salt, yeast, water).  I let it rise once,

rolled it thin, added cheese and toppings.

I used the same heavy, cast iron pan.

After the veggies were done, I put it on the hot grill 

for about 13 minutes.

The crust browned beautifully on the hot pan.

This was a great dinner without heating up the kitchen!

Let me know what you're grilling!
