the Perfect Pizza Night Meal
I first fell in love with roasted grapes when I added them to crispy smashed sweet potatoes with goat cheese. Let me tell ya, once you’ve had them, there’s no going back! That’s when I got the idea to throw grapes on my pizza (I mean, pineapple is a classic, so why not grapes?). Enter this epic three cheese roasted grape pizza. Roasting grapes transforms their bright, citrusy flavor into deep, caramelized deliciousness. Paired with rosemary, ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella, the taste will knock your socks off. This makes for the perfect Friday night meal—10 minutes of prep, 20 in the oven, and you’ve got just enough time to decide on a movie! Trust me when I say this combo is a total game-changer.
Grab These Ingredients
You don’t need much to whip up this three cheese roasted grape pizza!
Grapes: For the perfect amount of sweetness, grab 2 cups of red seedless grapes. If you have black or green grapes, feel free to give ’em a go! (The flavor will vary slightly with each type.) Salt And Pepper: Sneak in ¼ teaspoon of black pepper for a kick, and use large sea salt flakes to bring out the sweetness of the grapes. Olive Oil: You’ll need 2 tablespoons of olive oil. One will roast the grapes, while the other gets spread onto the dough for a golden, crispy base. Rosemary: One sprig of rosemary is all you need to flavor the entire pizza! (Psst… here’s how to store leftover rosemary for later!) Dough: You can get fancy with a handmade pizza crust or pick up a premade version at the grocery store (dealer’s choice!). Cheese: Cheese #1 will be 1/2 cup of ricotta! Next up, we’ll use 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan (make sure it’s freshly grated!). Finally, finish things off with shredded mozzarella. You’ll need… you guessed it—½ cup!

Yep, you can totally sprinkle diced or sliced apples all over this pizza. Add some pecans or walnuts for the perfect crunch (and a surprisingly delish pairing with the three kinds of cheese!).
