Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay the pita bread on the prepared baking sheet and brush each one lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted. Remove from heat.
Evenly distribute the cooked spinach over the pita breads.
Top each pita with crumbled feta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of dried oregano.
Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the pita edges are golden and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute before serving.
