Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole-wheat pita bread
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Bell pepper (red or yellow)
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup Black olives
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet and brush each one lightly with olive oil.
Spread 2-3 tablespoons of tomato sauce evenly over each pita, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce on each pita.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, the bell pepper into thin strips, and the red onion into thin slices. Arrange the vegetables and black olives evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the top of the vegetables for seasoning.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and garnish each pita pizza with fresh basil leaves.
Let the pita pizzas cool for a minute before slicing into quarters (if desired) and serving.
