Makes 4 personal-size pizzas / Serves 4
4 cups cruciferous vegetables, such as broccolini, cauliflower, or kale, cut into bite-size peices
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
½ teaspoon sea salt alt
4 whole wheat pita rounds
1 cup hummus
½ cup sliced kalamata olives
2 teaspoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons dried goldenberries, chopped
Pinch crushed red pepper
Place a rack on the top position in the oven, and heat on broil.
In a bowl, combine the cruciferous vegetables, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt. Toss well to coat the vegetables.
Place two pitas a baking sheet. Broil for 2 minutes on the top shelf, then remove. Flip the pita over, and spread each pita with a quarter of the hummus. Sprinkle each with a quarter of the olives, chia seeds, and tossed vegetables, and lightly drizzle with additional olive oil if desired. Broil for 2-3 minutes longer, or until vegetables begin to slightly char. Remove from oven, sprinkle with a quarter of the goldenberries and crushed red pepper, and cut into slices. Repeat with the remaining two pita’s to create the other two pizza’s.
