Helpful Hints:
|
You can buy prebaked pizza crusts in the grocery store or you can make one from a favorite recipe. Try using other crusts, such as whole-wheat tortillas, pita bread, English muffins or bagels. Let kids choose the veggies they like for toppings but encourage variety. Let them finely chop the veggies to stack on the crust. Kids will often try veggies fresh that they do not like cooked.
Buy vegetables in season, you will save money at the store and will find different ways to serve them.

Safety Tip:
|
Remember to wash all vegetables just before dicing. Use fresh, running water and wash just the amount you plan to use. Let older kids dice the veggies, using a paring knife and cutting board. If they are too young to dice, let them measure ingredients and decorate the pizzas.
