Healthy Homemade Pizza

I love eating pizza, but hate the calories that are associated with it! Below is my recipe for a healthy, quick and easy homemade pizza that take less then 15 minutes to prepare and cook! You can make this with literally any veggies or protein you have on hand in your fridge. If you don’t have whole wheat pitas, you can also make this on whole wheat english muffins.

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole wheat pita
  • 2 mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 tablespoons chopped red onions
  • 4-5 baby spinach leaves
  • 1 spicy Italian sausage, removed from casing
  • 1/4 cup jar tomato sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Part skim low fat mozzarella cheese, 3 to 4 small slices
  • Jalapenos (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

  1. In a small bowl, mix tomato sauce with chili powder, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a frying pan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil and place sausage in sizzling pan. Saute for 5-6 minutes on medium heat or until fully cooked.
  3. Evenly spread tomato sauce on top of the whole wheat pizza. Top with spinach, and then the mushrooms, onions, and sausage. Top everything off with mozzarella cheese.
  4. In a toaster oven, cook for about 10 minutes or until cheese becomes brown and melted. Add jalapenos if desired.
