Vegan Pita Pizza PDF Print E-mail
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
  • vegan pita bread--The thick flat kind with no pockets; preferably whole wheat
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic, pressed or diced
  • Red onion, diced
  • Mushrooms, sliced
  • Tomato, diced
  • Salt
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Cumin
Directions:

Make as many of these or as few depending on how many people you are serving.

I have made these and served them as appetizers, eaten them for a snack, and made them for dinner for myself and husband--I am the only vegan in the group, but this is one recipe that even carnivores seem to like. :)

Spread some Olive Oil with a spoon over pita to serve as a base.

Add garlic, red onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, or any other combination of vegetables you might like to try--I usually use whatever I happen to have in the refrigerator, which most often happens to be these ingrededients--I have also added beans to boost the nutrition, which is good too.

Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of Salt, a bit of Cayenne Pepper, and a pinch of Cumin (this is the secret and what gives off such a nice aroma when it's cooking).

Pop in the oven at about 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or so...until the crust is nice and crispy and the toppings are cooked a bit.

Remove from oven, cut into quarters, and serve!

Serves: 1-?

Preparation time: 15 min
