What you’ll need
Ingredients
Let’s do this
- 1
Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss pepper and mushrooms with oil on a baking sheet and roast for 6 minutes.
- 2
Mix crushed tomatoes, oregano, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Place pitas on a second baking sheet.
- 3
Spread each pita with half the tomato mixture, leaving a narrow border. Add mozzarella and the partly roasted vegetables.
- 4
Bake for 7–8 minutes until cheese melts and the edges turn crisp. Check early because thin pitas brown quickly.
- 5
Scatter over the basil, rest for 1 minute, and cut into wedges.
