Give vegetables a preparation plan

A useful starting point

Choose vegetables that suit the recipe and prepare them using its instructions. A large handful added without a plan can make distribution difficult and obscure the other flavours. Consider size, shape and how each ingredient will be eaten in a slice. Keep prepared and raw ingredients handled according to appropriate food-safety guidance.

Bring it into your kitchen

Start with a small combination and note what the finished pizza needs. You may prefer fewer vegetables with clearer individual flavours rather than a crowded mixture. Avoid assuming that every ingredient can be added raw merely because it will spend some time in the oven. Preparation decisions should follow the complete recipe, not a photograph of the finished topping arrangement.

Before your next pizza night

• Use recipe-appropriate preparation.
• Keep topping pieces practical.
• Begin with a small combination.
