Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

3. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
4. While the vegetables are roasting, roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

6. Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven and spread them evenly over the pizza dough.
7. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the vegetables.
8. If using, drizzle harissa paste over the pizza for an extra kick.
9. Bake the pizza in the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
