Sheet Pan Dinner—Cherry Tomato and Herb Pizza with Mozzarella and Parmesan

September 9, 2020 by Tonja Leave a Comment

With the abundance of summer tomatoes left, and my herb garden overflowing, I’ve created an easy and tasty sheet pan pizza for any night of the week.  Roasted cherry tomatoes with garlic, honey, and lots of chopped herbs are the base for this pizza and a fun delicious way to enjoy dinner together.  Throw in a salad and you’re set.
