Ingredients

measuring cup

Servings: 4

Directions

  • Step 1

    Place a pizza stone or rimmed baking sheet on the middle oven rack; preheat to 450 degrees.

  • Step 2

    Brush the surface of the pizza crust with the oil. Scatter the garlic and most of the chile pepper slices (reserving a few for garnish) over the top, plus the chopped cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt.

  • Step 3

    Use a pizza peel or cake lifter to transfer the crust to the oven; bake (on the pizza stone or baking sheet) until the edges of the crust are browned and the garlic is very fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, then top with the sliced avocados, a sprinkling of lemon juice, the crushed red pepper flakes, the black pepper, the cilantro leaves and the reserved chile pepper slices. Drizzle with a little more oil, if desired.

  • Step 4

    Cut into pieces and serve with the salsa verde, for dipping, if desired.

  • Step 5

    NOTE: If you want a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the chile before using.
