Grilled Pita Pizza

I combined different recipes to come up with this grilled pita pizza. I teach high school Culinary Arts and wanted to do a fun lab using vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 red bell pepper
  • 1/8 small red onion
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons talian dressing
  • 1 (6 1/2-inch) pita bread
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • 1/8 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 teaspoon black olives, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2
Toss bell pepper and red onion with Italian dressing in a bowl. Grill vegetables until tender with a bite, 5 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Allow to cool slightly, then cut peppers into thin strips; cut onions into 3/4-inch pieces.

Step 3
Place pita on the grill until grill marks form, 30 seconds to 2 minutes; turn, and grill the other side until grill marks form, 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

Step 4
Place pita on a sheet pan. Spread one side of pita with olive oil and pizza sauce. Scatter peppers, onion, mushrooms, and black olives over pita, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

Cook’s Note:

You can saut? the vegetables instead of grilling them. Slice peppers and onions first, then saut? in a skillet over medium-high heat until tender with a bite, about 2 minutes.
