- Category: Snack
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- Mini pita breads (about 4-inch rounds), preferably whole wheat
- Tomato sauce (marinara or pizza sauce)
- Shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1/4 cup or 28g per mini pizza)
- Pepperoni slices (turkey or beef, or mini turkey sausage pieces)
- Sliced black olives (optional)
- Chopped bell peppers
- Oregano and basil (dried or fresh)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Mini containers or small snack cups (optional, for sauce dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Slice the pepperoni, bell peppers, and olives if not already sliced. Have shredded mozzarella and tomato sauce ready in small bowls for easy assembly.
- Lay out the mini pita breads on the baking sheet, spaced evenly. Lightly brush each pita with olive oil.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce (about 1-2 tablespoons) on each pita using the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella generously over the sauce (about 1/4 cup per mini pizza).
- Add toppings such as pepperoni slices, bell peppers, and olives as desired.
- Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano and basil over each pizza.
- Optionally, grate a little Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pita are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before packing or serving. Include a small container of extra sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
