Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
• In a food processor, combine kale, basil, pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Pulse until finely chopped.
• With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Roll out your pizza crust on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
• Evenly spread the kale pesto over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pesto.
• If desired, scatter cherry tomatoes or olives on top of the cheese.
• Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges.
• Optionally, garnish with additional basil or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
