• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 4 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
• 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with foil.

Step 2

Toss carrot slices with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss red onion with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the carrots and onions on their own baking sheets.

Step 3

Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 4

While carrot and onion are roasting, combine goat cheese, egg yolk, garlic, and lemon zest in a bowl. Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 5

Remove vegetables from the oven. Toss carrots with honey and set aside. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 6

Spread the goat cheese mixture all over the crust, leaving about 1/4 inch from edge. Arrange carrot on the pizza and sprinkle with red onion.

Step 7

Bake pizza until cheese is melted and starting to brown, 13 to 15 minutes.

Step 8

While the pizza bakes, toss arugula with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cut pizza into slices and top with the salad, or serve it on the side.
