Pita Pizza

For this recipe, you’ll need some pita bread (we like the whole wheat kind,) shredded cheese, various pizza toppings, garlic, dried/fresh basil, and some store bought pesto. Yes, pesto sauce is rather easy to make if you prefer your own. You just take some basil, pine nuts and EVOO and grind it all up in a food processor, but to avoid the mess and to save time, we always just buy some pre-made from the store.

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with some tin foil to prevent a mess. Take a pita and spread some pesto on it. Top with toppings. I like sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and black olives. Top with shredded cheese, then sprinkle a little bit of dried basil and either garlic powder or minced garlic on top of the cheese.

Bake these for 15 mins.

These can be vegetarian if you don’t use meat toppings, and these can be made vegan if follow all the steps, but omit the cheese. (They are actually very tasty without the cheese, just load up on some extra veggies!)
