🧂 Ingredients

4 6-inch whole wheat pitas
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup pizza sauce
½ bell pepper

julienne (long strips)
1/2 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Optional: ¼ cup mixed herbs

basil, parsley, oregano alone or a mix, chopped

Instructions

1 Preheat the broiler to low. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2 Place the pitas on the baking sheet and brush both sides with the oil. Broil 1
to 2 minutes per side.
3 Spread up to ¼ cup sauce on each pita. Top the pitas with pepper, cheese, and
optional red pepper flakes. Broil again until cheese softens and starts to get
golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes, being careful not to burn pita.
