What if I told you this delicious, flavourful, spicy, cheezy, crispy-based pizza was only 180 calories, low in fat and 2 of your ‘5 a day’? Well, it is! And it’s one of the best pizzas I’ve had too.
The base is simply a low-fat tortilla wrap (you can buy low-fat shop-bought ones or make your own gluten-free ones).
It’s topped with spicy arrabiata sauce mixed with some nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesey flavour), a selection of Mediterranean chopped veg and garlic, lightly fried with water or a low-cal olive oil spray and some fresh basil.
This pizza is also really nice served cold, making it the perfect healthy (and ridiculously tasty) lunch to take to work!

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 190c / 375f and make sure you have a grill rack or pizza tray (so the pizza can cook underneath).

-
Arrange the vegetables on top of the wrap and transfer to the oven using a spatula.

Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning if necessary to ensure even cooking, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
