Ricotta-Mushroom Pita Pizza
You won’t miss that cheesy Sicilian slice from your local pizzeria after you try this ricotta-mushroom pie.
Ingredients
- 1 whole-wheat pita, choose a brand with 150 calories or less
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- Kosher salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place the pita bread (closed, do not cut open) on the baking sheet and mist the surface with oil spray. Toast the bread in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, coat a small skillet with oil spray and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Season with the garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the toasted pita bread. Top with the sautéed mushrooms, and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, if using (sprinkle lightly — they’re very hot!). Bake the pizza for 8 minutes.
