1-Gathering and Prepping Your Ingredients: First things first, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to get that perfect golden crust. While it’s heating up, wash and prepare your kale by removing the ribs, and get your pomegranate seeds ready for that sweet burst at the end. Don’t forget to make the creamy kale pesto sauce ahead; it’s the heart of this kale and pomegranate pizza recipe.

2-Building the Pizza Base: Roll out your 1 pound of pizza dough to about 14 inches and place it on a baking sheet or pizza stone sprinkle a bit of cornmeal underneath if you have it for extra crunch. Spread the creamy kale pesto sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a half-inch border so it doesn’t spill over the edges. This sauce, made from blending kale, pecans, garlic, and other goodies, adds that rich, garlicky layer we all love in a creamy pesto pizza recipe.

3-Adding Toppings and Baking: Layer on 4 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese for that melty goodness, then scatter the sliced half small yellow onion for a bit of sharpness. Toss your 3 cups of kale leaves with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt, and pile them on top for that fresh, nutritious kick. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until the crust is golden, the cheese bubbles, and the kale gets those crispy edges. Once it’s out, add the 1/2 cup of pomegranate arils for a juicy, colorful finish HELLO GORGEOUS PIZZA!
