Ingredients
  • 5 asparagus spears, chopped 1" long
  • 4 radishes
  • 8-10 ounces of mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 whole wheat pitas
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Chop the vegetables. Note the sizes in the ingredients.
  2. Saute’ the vegetables in olive oil until slightly tender. Remember to put the asparagus in the skillet a minute or two longer because it takes a little longer to cook. Put the garlic in last.
  3. Brush pitas with olive oil and bake on 350 degrees directly on the oven rack for about 10-15 minutes. You will need a huge spatula to remove the pitas from the oven, especially after you put on the vegetables and cheese.
  4. Remove pitas from oven.
  5. Sprinkle a layer of cheese on the pitas.
  6. Spread the sauteed vegetables over the cheese.
  7. Add another layer of cheese over the vegetables.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees directly on the rack until cheese is melted and the edges of the pita are slightly brown and crispy. This takes approximately 5 more minutes. Remember to remove the pita pizzas with a large spatula or flat metal pan to avoid spilling ingredients.
