Veggie Lovers Pita Pizzas
If you're looking for a unique, but quick take on pizza with no meat but ALL THE FLAVOR, then look no further than this dish - Veggie Lovers Pita Pizzas!
This dish combines a number of tasty veggies - Mushroom, Tomato, and Zucchini, on a whole wheat pita as the pizza crust, and Basil seasoning for extra flavor. I like using pitas as a pizza crust because it's easy to find in most grocery stores, and easy to work with when crafting this dish
For this I would reccommend roasting the zucchini and mushrooms in a skillet first, before topping a pizza with them. Any extra roasted veggies that don't make it to a pizza can be easily stored in the refrigerator & used for other dishes.

What are some alternatives you could use in making this dish?
If you're in need of alterative or additional ingredients for this pizza, you could top it with...
- Purple Onion (diced)
- Green Onion (sliced)
- Black Olives
- Feta Cheese
Does this have to be served immediately after cooking? Or can this dish be kept & keep warm for a while to serve after cooking?
This dish can do both! If you wrap each slice of pita pizza in aluminum foil and place into an insulated container, the pizzas can be kept warm for a few hours.
Can any of this be prepped ahead of time? (say, the night before a Saturday morning long run)?
You can slice/dice and roast the veggies the night before making the pizzas, then pull the roasted veggies out of the refrigerator the next day, top your pizza and cook in the oven.
