Feta and Hummus Pizza Recipe

Feta and Hummus Pizza is a recipe that takes the idea of pizza and turns it into something new. It is healthier and lighter than regular pizza and really easy to make. Using pita bread as the crust is convenient, as is using pre-made hummus. Serve Feta and Hummus Pizza as a main course or cut the pizza into slices for an appetizer.

Feta and Hummus Pizza Recipe serves four

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 rounds of pita bread (whole wheat or white)
• 8 oz container hummus
• 3 medium-sized zucchini, sliced into very thin rounds
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup pitted kalamata olives
• 1/3 - 1/2 lb. Feta, crumbled (goat cheese can also be used)
• Red pepper flakes to taste (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350

Spread hummus evenly over each round of pita bread, leaving a little room around the edges for the crust. Drizzle or brush a little bit of olive oil around the outside rim (or crust) of the pita.

Toss the zucchini slices in 1 Tbsp olive oil and salt. In an overlapping circular pattern, layer the zucchini rounds evenly on each pita bread.

Slice each of the kalamata olives in half. Distribute the olives evenly over the pizzas. Sprinkle the crumbled cheese over the pizzas. If you like a spicy pizza, sprinkle red pepper flakes over each pizza.

Bake 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature
