This pizza is so easy and DE-lish. The homemade roasted peppers taste so fresh, and love the contrast between the sweet bell pepper and salty olives. Would be a 5 with homemade pizza dough, although the store-bought is great for convenience.
Roasted Bell Pepper-and-Olive Pizza
Make this appetizer ahead of time, and put it in the oven just before your guests arrive so it can be served hot.

Ingredients
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 2 large yellow bell peppers
- 1/2 cup sliced green olives
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons drained capers
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 (1-pound) Italian cheese-flavored pizza crusts (such as Boboli) or focaccias
- 6 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation
- Preheat broiler. Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise, and discard seeds and membranes. Place bell pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet, and flatten with hand. Broil 15 for minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag, and seal. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and cut into strips. Combine bell peppers, green olives, and next 5 ingredients (olives through black pepper) in a bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Divide the bell pepper mixture evenly among pizza crusts; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350° for 7 minutes or until cheese melts. Cut each into 12 wedges.
