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
- red bell pepper: 0.25 piece
- red onion: 0.125 piece
- 1/4 teaspoons Italian dressing: 2 piece
- (6 1/2-inch) pita bread: 1 piece
- olive oil: 0.5 tsp
- pizza sauce: 2 Tbsp
- mushrooms: 0.125 cup (sliced)
- chopped, drained black olives: 0.5 tsp (to taste)
- mozzarella cheese: 0.5 cup (shredded)

Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
