Ree often whips up pita pizzas after a long, exhausting day to accompany a glass of wine. There are only a few steps, and it’s a versatile dish that can be changed up with a range of different toppings, depending on what’s in your fridge.

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic, grated

5 tablespoons jarred pesto

12 spears asparagus

4 mini sweet peppers

2 shallots, halved

1 small yellow squash, halved lengthways

4 whole wheat pitas

4 slices prosciutto

4 ounces goat cheese

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

Fresh basil, for topping

Directions

  1. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Mix the olive oil, grated garlic and 1 tablespoon of the pesto in a small bowl. Add half of the mixture to a large bowl.
  3. Add the asparagus, peppers, shallots and squash to the large bowl and toss to coat. Transfer the vegetables to the grill and cook, flipping as needed, until well charred and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then slice the vegetable into bite-size pieces.
  4. Brush the pitas with half of the remaining oil, garlic and pesto mixture. Add them to the grill oil-side down and grill for 45 seconds to a minute. Brush the top side of the pitas with the remaining oil, garlic and pesto mixture. Flip, then spread 1 tablespoon of the remaining pesto onto the grilled side of each pita. Top each with a slice of prosciutto and a sprinkle of goat cheese. Remove to a board.
  5. Top the pita pizzas with a mix of the chopped vegetables. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and garnish with basil. Cut the pita into quarters and serve.

Delicious! I sautéed zucchini, squash, and onion in the oil then added in the jarred pesto and prosciutto for the last few minutes. Layered the veggie & prosciutto mix on top of a whole wheat pizza and sprinkled feta over the top. Finished it off with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Weight Watchers friendly!
