Ingredients

  • 2 cups Red Seedless Grapes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 Pizza Dough
  • 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking to complement the roasted grapes.
  • Use fresh rosemary leaves stripped from the stem for even coverage instead of the sprig.
  • Try substituting goat cheese for ricotta for a tangier option.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 5–7 minutes to keep the crust crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

The image shows a round pizza with a thick, golden-brown crust that is slightly puffed and uneven around the edges. The pizza has a layer of melted, bubbly cheese that covers the whole top surface, with small browned spots scattered throughout. On top of the cheese, there are many dark red to almost black grapes that look roasted, unevenly placed but covering most of the pizza. Some green leaves, possibly herbs, are scattered lightly across the surface, adding a fresh contrast to the rich colors. The pizza is placed on white parchment paper over a white marbled surface, creating a clean and bright background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen grapes for this recipe?

Fresh grapes work best because they roast and burst evenly. Frozen grapes tend to release too much water, which can make the pizza soggy.

What type of pizza dough should I use?

You can use store-bought or homemade pizza dough. Just make sure it’s at room temperature before adding the toppings for even cooking.

Ingredients

Scale

Grape Topping

  • 2 cups Red Seedless Grapes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary

Pizza Base and Cheese

  • 1 Pizza Dough (store-bought or homemade, about 12-inch)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for dough)
  • 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • Pinch of Salt (for dough)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to prepare for roasting grapes and baking the pizza.
  2. Prepare Grapes: In a bowl, toss 2 cups of red seedless grapes with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 sprig of fresh rosemary until evenly coated.
  3. Roast Grapes: Spread the seasoned grapes on a rimmed baking sheet and roast them in the oven at 450°F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the skins start to burst, releasing their juices and intensifying their sweetness.
  4. Prepare Pizza Dough: While the grapes roast, lightly brush 1 tablespoon olive oil over the pizza dough and sprinkle a pinch of salt to season the crust. Then evenly spread 1/2 cup ricotta cheese over the dough, followed by a generous sprinkle of 1/2 cup grated parmesan and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Assemble Pizza: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the roasted grapes onto the cheese-covered pizza dough, being careful to leave behind any excess liquid from the grapes to avoid sogginess.
  6. Bake Pizza: Place the assembled pizza on the middle rack of the oven and bake at 450°F for about 10 minutes, or until the crust starts to turn lightly golden and the cheese begins to melt and brown slightly.
  7. Broil for Finish: Move the pizza to the top rack and broil it for 1 minute, watching closely until the cheese bubbles and develops a golden-brown, slightly crisp finish. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure you do not transfer excess grape liquid onto the pizza to keep the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Using fresh rosemary adds an herbal note that complements the sweetness of the grapes; you can finely chop it before mixing with grapes if preferred.
  • If you don’t have a broiler, you can bake the pizza a few minutes longer until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Feel free to use homemade or store-bought pizza dough according to your preference.
  • For a more caramelized grape topping, you can extend the roasting time by a few minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
