recipe for the main dish

Jack-o’-Lantern Personal Pita Pizzas

This is a fun way to dress up an everyday meal. Who says it’s not okay to play with your food—especially when you’re the one cooking it! Challenge your friends to see who can make the spookiest jack-o’-lantern face. 

Prep: 15 minutes / Cook: 10 minutes / Serves: 4  

4 10-inch whole wheat pita breads 

1 cup  pizza sauce

8 ounces grated cheese (provolone, 

mozzarella, or a blend work fine)

Toppings of your choice. Check out the picture above for ideas. 

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Place the pitas on a baking tray. Spread a good amount (about ¼ cup) of the pizza sauce on each pita, leaving about a ½-inch crust. Sprinkle the cheese over the sauce. 

2. Decorate your pizza with your jack-o’-lantern face and take a picture of the pizza before baking it. Place the tray in the hot oven and watch it cook, waiting until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 7–10 minutes. 

3. Remove it from the oven and take another picture so that you have a before and after shot! Carefully cut the pizza into pieces and enjoy. Any remaining sauce can be used as a dipping sauce for the “crust.”
