Ingredients
- 3 mini pitas
- 6 TBSP Pizza Sauce
- 1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
- ½-1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1 Roma tomato
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes plus extra, to taste
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
- grated Parmesan cheese for topping
- fresh chopped basil for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment or foil.
- For easy slicing, first warm the mini pita breads by popping them in the toaster until they puff up. Mine were perfect after about 3 minutes. This can also be done in a toaster oven or conventional oven. Allow to cool sightly and use a small knife to slice pitas open into two halves, being careful of the steam inside.
- Spread approx. 1 TBSP of sauce on each pita half and top with spinach, mozzarella cheese, and tomato slices.
- If you're not a fan of spicy red pepper flakes or serving these pita pizzas to kiddos, skip adding the crushed red pepper flakes to your pizza. Love spice? Have at it!
- Bake for 6-8 minutes or until cheese is melty and the pita is crisp.
- Dive in while they're hot and melty!
