Here's an easy, ridiculously delicious vegetarian pizza topping for you: beetroot! It's probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of pizza, but I do love unusual pizzas - lentil pizza, for example! Turns out, beetroot is an unbelievable pizza topping, especially with plenty of crumbled goat's cheese and a big heap of fresh rocket (arugula).

I used pickled baby beetroot for this recipe. The beetroot itself is beautifully soft and sweet, and it only takes a few seconds to chop it up and pop it right on your pizza.

By the way, if you're at all concerned that using pickled beetroot will give your pizza a really vinegary taste, don't be! The flavour mellows a lot when the beetroot is cooked, so even if you're not a fan of pickled beetroot straight out of the jar, you'll love this pizza.
