Easy Pita Pizza

10 shares
  • Share
  • Tweet

Like many parents, I’m always trying to expand Owen’s picky palate. One thing I’ve found that he enjoys is pizza. There must be some kind of weird psychology to the word ‘pizza’ because he tends to eat pizza regardless of the toppings I put on.

I’ve gotten so good at making these bad boys that I can whip one up in about 5 minutes.

To keep things on the healthy side, I use whole wheat pitas, and I always add a vegetable, like peppers. For a little protein and added flavor, I throw on some HORMEL® Pepperoni. I use marinara sauce because we almost always have a jar in the house.

Owen doesn’t really like when I use the entire pita, so I cut it in half. This works for me because I can stretch out the food.

I turn on the oven broiler and pop the pita in for 1-2 minutes. While it’s toasting up a bit, I prepare the toppings. When the time is up, I flip the pita over and toast it for another 1-2 minutes.

pita-pizza-2

I add the toppings– marinara, cheese, HORMEL® Pepperoni, chopped peppers, cheese.

Then, I put the pizza under the broiler for another 1-2 minutes.

pita-pizza-3

The pizza comes out warm but not too hot for toddlers’ mouths.

pita-pizza-4

I typically cut up Owen’s pizza into pieces because he likes to eat it with a fork. Then I add a vegetable and fruit onto his plate. This time is was carrots with hummus and sliced grapes.

pita-pizza-5

Keep in mind you aren’t limited to using only pitas. I use the same method with tortillas to make pizzas for Owen. And while we don’t buy them often, you can also use English muffins.

I also tend to mix up the toppings so he can try out new and different flavors and textures. Sometimes I’ll do Mexican pizzas with refried black beans, salsa, meat, cheese, and sliced avocado. Other times I’ve added pineapple and sliced olives.

    We do this with whole grain sandwich thins too! But my favorite use for pepperoni is with cooked spaghetti squash, alfredo sauce and some peppers and onions. It makes a killer pasta dish that tastes like it’s full of calories, but really only 400-500!

    I’ll have to try this! I love making english muffin pizzas with diced green peppers for a quick lunch. I just use a whole wheat english muffin, either homemade or store bought sauce, some light mozzarella, and either hormel regular or turkey pepperoni. I really like fruit with my lunch, so I usually have something like an orange on the side.

    So my first thought is how you are a perfect mom for slicing the grapes. Seriously, whether you are arranging a bouquet or making lunch for a toddler, it’s perfect. Using the cupcake liner for hummus is a great idea. I’ll have to keep that one in mind.

    As far as the pepperoni, we really only use turkey pep. It’s great on pizza of course, but we also like it with cheese and crackers. And we love to just eat it plain…
