Ingredients
- 1 whole wheat French bread loaf
- 0.5 cup low-fat marinara sauce
- 0.75 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup sliced bell peppers (red, green, yellow)
- 0.5 cup sliced mushrooms
- 0.25 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the whole wheat French bread loaf in half lengthwise, and then in half crosswise to create four equal pieces.
Place the bread slices cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lightly spray the bread with olive oil spray to promote crispiness.
Evenly spread the low-fat marinara sauce across each slice of bread.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the sauce for added flavor.
Distribute the reduced-fat mozzarella cheese evenly among the bread slices.
Top each slice with the bell peppers, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, and onions.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
Cut each piece in half if desired to serve smaller portions, and enjoy your delicious, low-fat French Bread Pizza!
