  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Chop the onion, bell pepper and mushrooms.
  3. In a small nonstick skillet heat the vegetarian crumbles with 2 tablespoons water and the Italian seasoning blend until hot and most of the water is evaporated.

  6. Top each pita pizza with 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese. Bake for 6-8 minutes until cheese is melted. 

Helpful hints

  • Check labels on pitas and pizza sauce and select the lowest sodium brands.
  • Frozen vegetarian crumbles are a soy product that can be used as a replacement for ground beef. If desired you can substitute lean ground beef or turkey.
  • For a thin crust pizza open the pita and split into 2 round pieces. Carbohydrate is reduced to 22 grams.
