# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until vegetables are well coated.
03 - Arrange seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Roast for 15–18 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
04 - On a floured surface, roll out pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer dough onto a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
05 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a narrow border for the crust.
06 - Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over sauce. Arrange roasted vegetables over cheese. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
07 - Bake assembled pizza for 12–15 minutes until crust turns golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Remove pizza from oven and cool slightly. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes as desired.
09 - Slice pizza and serve warm.
