Ingredients

• 2 Whole wheat pita breads
• 2 cups Spinach leaves
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the spinach leaves and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread 1/4 cup of tomato sauce evenly across each pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning over each pita, then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Divide the sautéed spinach between the two pitas, spreading it out evenly over the sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over each pita pizza.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes on top for a spicy kick.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining olive oil (1 teaspoon) over the pizzas.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pita edges are crisp.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spinach Pita Pizza!
