Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole grain pita bread
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium marinara sauce
- 0.25 cups Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cups Baby spinach
- 4 Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cups Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.125 cups Onion, thinly sliced
- 4 Black olives, sliced (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.125 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the whole grain pita bread on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the pita bread with olive oil to help it crisp up during baking.
Spread the low-sodium marinara sauce evenly over the pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges for a crust.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over the sauce as evenly as possible.
Top the pizza with baby spinach, cherry tomato halves, red bell pepper slices, onion slices, and optional black olives.
Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, and optional crushed red pepper flakes over the toppings to add flavor and a bit of spice.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pita are golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing it into quarters or enjoying it whole.
Serve immediately and savor your heart-healthy personal pizza!
