FULL RECIPE

Serving Size: 2

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Green Giant product(s) used: Green Giant® Sliced Mushrooms

Lists of ingredients:

  • 2 pitas
    1 Tablespoon olive oil
    1 cup marinara sauce
    1 cup shredded mozzarella
    1 jar (4.5 ounces) Green Giant® Sliced Mushrooms, drained
    ¼ cup thinly sliced red onions
    2 ounces sliced pepperoni
    ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
    ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
    Fresh basil for topping

STEPS

1 Heat oven to 425ºF. Place pita bread on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Top with marinara sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms, onions, and pepperoni. Sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes on top.
2 Bake 6-8 minutes, until cheese is melted and pita is toasted. Cut into wedges and top with fresh basil.

TIPS & TRICKS

Whether you’re making pita pizzettas using store-bought flatbread crust, pre-made pizza dough, or making your own dough from scratch, our Sliced Mushrooms are a pizza-night timesaver because they’re already sliced, cooked, and salted. Just drain and scatter them over any pizza to add meaty mushroom flavor and umami. You can also use Green Giant Mushrooms on a frozen pizza before baking to add extra mushroom goodness. Or try them in grilled cheese sandwiches and paninis.

The great thing about individual pizzettas is that they can be customized for different tastes and dietary needs. For a meatless mushroom pizzetta, omit the pepperoni or replace it with pickled peppers (such as Peppadews), roasted red peppers, or olive oil-marinated sun-dried tomatoes. Blue cheese pairs beautifully with mushrooms, so if you like its flavor, crumble some blue cheese over the pizzettas as soon as they come out of the oven.
