# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The entire pizza comes together in 35 minutes without any fussy techniques or special skills.
  • You get the satisfaction of homemade pizza with a fraction of the usual effort.
  • Roasted vegetables become caramelized and almost candy-like, making this feel indulgent rather than virtuous.
02 -
  • Don't skip rinsing the capers or you'll end up with tapenade that's unpleasantly salty; it's a small step that makes a huge difference.
  • The roasted vegetables need space on the baking sheet to actually roast—overcrowding them will cause them to steam instead of caramelize and develop those sweet, charred edges.
03 -
  • Buy pre-made naan from the bakery section of your grocery store—it saves time and tastes fresher than packaged bread.
  • Crumble your feta cheese by hand rather than buying pre-crumbled; it melts more evenly and feels less dusty on the finished pizza.
