Rainbow Veggie Flatbread Pizza
These personal-sized Rainbow Veggie Flatbread pizzas are delicious and can help keep you on track toward your goals.
If you have kids, let them have fun by decorating their own rainbow pizzas. (They might even forget that those pretty colors are made from v-e-g-g-i-e-s (no promises, though).
To make these Rainbow Veggie Flatbreads look for whole-grain pita (or another flatbread like naan or tortillas), jarred marinara sauce (look for a brand that is low in sugar), mozzarella cheese, and your favorite veggies.
We chose an array of bell peppers of all colors, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, and red onion to create our rainbow, but you can use any veggies you like.
Chop them into small, uniform pieces and if you choose vegetables that take a little longer to cook, like carrots or butternut squash, be sure to slice them thinly.
Plus, since the flatbread, made from whole wheat pita (or naan, or other flatbread), is already baked, these pizzas don’t take long in the oven — just enough time for the cheese to melt and the crust to get crisp.
