Ingredients

• 1 Whole grain pita bread
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium marinara sauce
• 0.25 cups Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cups Baby spinach
• 4 Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cups Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.125 cups Onion, thinly sliced
• 4 Black olives, sliced (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.125 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.125 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the whole grain pita bread on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the pita bread with olive oil to help it crisp up during baking.

Step 3

Spread the low-sodium marinara sauce evenly over the pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges for a crust.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over the sauce as evenly as possible.

Step 5

Top the pizza with baby spinach, cherry tomato halves, red bell pepper slices, onion slices, and optional black olives.

Step 6

Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, and optional crushed red pepper flakes over the toppings to add flavor and a bit of spice.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pita are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing it into quarters or enjoying it whole.

Step 9

Serve immediately and savor your heart-healthy personal pizza!
