Ingredients
  

2 large zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds

4 whole wheat pitas

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sliced black olives

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Zucchini: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Ensure the zucchini is well-coated.

      Bake the Zucchini: Spread the seasoned zucchini in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until they are slightly tender. Remove from the oven and set aside.

        Assemble the Pitas: On a clean baking sheet, place the whole wheat pitas. Spread about 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over each pita, leaving a little border.

          Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce on each pita, followed by the baked zucchini rounds and black olives. Finish by sprinkling Parmesan cheese on top.

            Bake the Pita Pizzas: Return the assembled pitas to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the pitas are crisp.

              Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let the pita pizzas cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Slice and serve warm.
