These mini pita pizzas are a delicious blend of crispy and cheesy goodness. Each bite features a satisfying crunch paired with the fresh flavors of your chosen toppings. Perfect for kids and adults alike, they make for a delightful meal or snack option.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole wheat pita breads

  • 1 cup pizza sauce

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni or other toppings of choice (bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, etc.)

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning

  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the Pitas: Place the pita breads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Add Sauce: Spread a generous tablespoon of pizza sauce on each pita.
  • Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, leaving some edges exposed.
  • Add Toppings: Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, vegetables, or any other favorite ingredients.
  • Season: Sprinkle dried oregano or Italian seasoning on top for extra flavor.
  • Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve: Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Cut into wedges and enjoy!

Key Prep Tips

  1. Use Fresh Pita Bread: Choose small, fresh pita rounds as the base for a perfectly crispy and chewy crust.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Ensure the oven is fully preheated to 375°F (190°C) for evenly baked pizzas.
  3. Spread Sauce Evenly: Use a thin layer of pizza or marinara sauce to avoid making the pita soggy.
  4. Customize Toppings: Let kids pick their own toppings for a fun and interactive meal-prep experience.

Suggested Variations

  • Cheese Choices: Use mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of shredded cheeses for a gooey topping; dairy-free cheese is great for vegan options.
  • Protein Additions: Include pepperoni, shredded chicken, or diced turkey for added protein.
  • Veggie Options: Add finely chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, or olives for a nutrient boost.
  • Flavor Enhancements: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions

  • Kid-Friendly Meal: Serve with carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or a small fruit salad for a complete, balanced meal.
  • As a Snack: These mini pizzas are great for after-school snacks or playdates.
  • Beverages: Pair with a glass of milk or a kid-friendly smoothie.
  • Presentation: Arrange the mini pizzas on a colorful plate or cutting board, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil for a vibrant look.
