Wow! Here's an easy and nutritious way to enjoy the taste and textures of

one of America's traditional favorite foods. Using simple whole-grain pita

bread, you can transform a piece of pezze into a healthy fast food. Here

we have a diverse group of vegetables and the round pita. These elements

symbolize the circle of life, which reminds us that what goes around comes

around.

 

Heat the GardenSausage 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 VeggiePack, pieces of red peppers, green onions, and

olives. Sprinkle with the diced GardenSausage. 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.
