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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet and brush each one lightly with olive oil.

Step 3

Spread 2-3 tablespoons of tomato sauce evenly over each pita, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 4

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce on each pita.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the top of the vegetables for seasoning.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and garnish each pita pizza with fresh basil leaves.

Step 9

Let the pita pizzas cool for a minute before slicing into quarters (if desired) and serving.
