Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pitas

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil, for drizzling

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Pitas: Place the whole wheat pitas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will prevent them from sticking and make cleanup easier.

      Add Seasonings: In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Drizzle a little olive oil over each pita and sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly across the surface.

        Layer the Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pitas, covering them nicely.

          Top with Veggies: Divide the roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives evenly among the pitas, arranging them nicely on top of the cheese.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pitas are slightly crisp.

              Finish with Garnish: Remove the pitas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

                Slice and Serve: Slice the pitas into wedges and serve immediately while hot and cheesy!
