Asparagus Pizza- 365 Recipe Challenge

I love pizza.  I don't love asparagus.  However, the combination of pizza and asparagus is surprisingly amazing.  Which is why, for this week's edition of the 365 Recipe Challenge, we have a super easy recipe for Asparagus Pizza that is great for Meatless Mondays.  The only way I like asparagus is either roasted or with cheese- this recipe has both.  Unfortunately there isn't enough cheese to hide the asparagus from picky eaters, but if you can get them to at least try one bite, I promise they will like it.  The crust and the cheese has the familiar pizza taste, and the asparagus is perfectly cooked.  Don't forget the balsamic dressing- it makes the pizza extra delicious!

Doesn't that make you want to love asparagus?

You Will Need:
2 pre cooked pizza crusts, I like Schar or Udi's Gluten free crusts (if using fresh dough, pre bake the crusts before adding the toppings)
1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
Italian seasoning
Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper
Cooking Spray
Olive Oil
Italian Shredded Cheese
Balsamic Dressing- homemade or store bought (I like the kind that comes in the spray bottle)

Directions:
Place your pizza crusts side by side on a cookie sheet.  Spray lightly with cooking spray (or drizzle with olive oil- but go easy, you will be adding more later).  You don't need a lot, just enough to make the seasoning stick (gluten free crust doesn't like to brown and this step helps with that).  Sprinkle the crusts with the Italian Seasoning and Garlic Powder.  Cut your asparagus into bit size pieces and arrange over the two crusts.  Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Cover each pizza with 1-2 (1/4- 1/2 a cup) ounces of shredded cheese.  Bake the pizzas according to package directions.  Since the crusts are pre cooked, you just want everything to brown slightly.  Drizzle or spritz with balsamic dressing and enjoy!  Serves 4.
