I don’t think vegetable sounds right either. No one crushes up broccoli or carrots to make sauce for pizza and you don’t add tomatoes to your roast veggies.
I love playing around with recipes so have indeed made broc and carrot sauces, but this is kind of all about what feels right to say. And I think that there’s a lot of cases where it feels wrong to describe tomato as a vegetable. Kind of how I’d feel odd calling lettuce a vegetable.

People put carrots in pizza sauce, like Rao’s: https://www.raos.com/products/pizza-sauce
And roasted tomatoes are great with some peppers and onions.
Peppers are fruit too
Yup, but also a vegetable.
Yeah, thanks nature for not adequately distinguishing between fruits and vegetables by cooking techniques!
Sometimes, you can be such a cunt, nature.
Maybe you don’t.

Okay but if someone offered me a pizza with broccoli or carrot sauce I’d have to politely, but firmly refuse
