1 15 ounce can crushed tomatoes or premade
natural pizza sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
6 whole wheat pitas
1 cups Veggies pack, cut into 1/4 inch
pieces
1 to 2 roasted red peppers, chopped
1 cup sliced green onions
6 black olives, pitted and chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - optional
Method :
Heat the
Garden Sausage in a hot skillet sprayed with olive oil spray.
Approximately 3 minutes on each side will be needed. Dice into 1/4 inch
pieces and set aside.
Combine the
crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, basil, oregano, and thyme in a
saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook 3 minutes. (Or use premade natural
pizza sauce).
Preheat the
oven to 375F. Spread each of the pitas with tomato sauce, then top with
Veggie Pack, pieces of red peppers, green onions, and olives. Sprinkle
with the diced Garden Sausage. Place on a baking sheet and bake until
the edges just begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan
cheese if using and serve.
