  • 1 Servings
  • Less than $3.00

Ingredients

  • 1 pita, whole wheat
  • 2 tablespoons tomato sauce, low sodium
  • 2 slices mozzarella cheese, part-skim

Steps

1

Wash hands with soap and water.

2

Place one pita round on a plate.

3

Spread 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce on pizza.

4

Sprinkle various chopped vegetable over sauce.

5

Layer two slices of cheese on top of sauce.

6

Cover with the other half of pita round.

7

Microwave 35 to 45 seconds, or until cheese melts.

8

Slice in half, let cool, and enjoy!

9

Layering the cheese over the raw veggies will help them cook; the melting cheese essentially steams the veggies in the microwave. If you prefer softer veggies, they can be steamed before being put on the pizza.

10

A tomato sauce with added flavors will be a nice kick to this pizza; also, mild salsa will add a different flavor.

11

Many sliced cheeses come in low-fat varieties and could be substituted for mozzarella. Or you could mix and match.

12

Veggie pizza is a great way to get your daily servings of veggies. A mix of veggies such as greens (spinach, broccoli), seeded (zucchini, peppers, tomatoes), and roots/fungi (onion, garlic, mushroom) will complement each other if used in variety.
