Think pizza is unhealthy? Think again: homemade pizza is simple to do and has the potential to be packed with all kinds of goodness – especially if you smother it in balsamic onions like this Zero Waste Week challenge recipe from Oddbox.
There’s nothing like a pizza to make you feel really satisfied. The issue is that a lot of shop-bought and takeaway pizzas are often saturated in unhealthy fats and any veggie toppings are cooked within an inch of their lives – offering little by way of nutrition.
This recipe, however, is packed with antioxidants thanks to its onion content. Plenty of studies and reviews have found onions to have potential cancer-busting properties, with one finding that people who regularly eat onions have an almost 80% lower risk of developing colorectal cancer.
One cup of chopped onions contains over 13% of an adult’s recommended daily intake of vitamin C – a powerful antioxidant known to help protect the body against free radicals. Other studies (admittedly on animals) have discovered that antioxidants found in onions may reduce the risk of heart disease and inflammation.
