Ingredients:

  • 1 package mini whole wheat pitas (6 pitas)
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Assorted toppings: diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, diced onions, olives, turkey pepperoni, etc.
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
  • Cooking spray

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  2. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, carefully split each mini pita in half to create two thin rounds. Place the pita rounds on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
  3. Spoon a tablespoon of marinara sauce onto each pita round, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
  4. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, ensuring each pita round is well-covered with cheese.
  5. Now, it’s time to get creative! Add your favorite toppings to each mini pizza bite, experimenting with different combinations to suit your taste preferences.
  6. Once you’ve adorned the mini pizzas with toppings, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the pitas are golden brown.
  7. Remove the Mini Pizza Bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal, if desired.
  8. Arrange the Mini Pizza Bites on a platter and serve them warm, allowing your guests to enjoy these irresistible treats straight from the oven.
