Vegetable Pizzas
Ingredients
  • 1
    medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise
  • 1
    small yellow summer squash, quartered lengthwise
  • 1
    small red sweet pepper, quartered lengthwise
  • 2
    tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/8
    teaspoon black pepper
  • 1
    large ripe tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1/4
    cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 3
    tablespoons purchased basil pesto
  • 4
    6 - 7 inches pita breads or individual pizza crusts (such as Boboli)
  • 1
    cup shredded mozzarella or smoked provolone cheese
Directions

1. Brush zucchini, summer squash, and sweet pepper with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. For a charcoal grill, grill vegetables on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals until crisp-tender, turning once halfway through grilling. Allow 8 to 10 minutes for sweet pepper and 5 to 6 minutes for zucchini and summer squash. Remove vegetables from grill.

2. Chop grilled vegetables. In a medium bowl combine chopped vegetables, tomato, mayonnaise, and pesto. Spread vegetable mixture over one side of pitas. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Place on grill rack. Cover and grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until pitas are lightly toasted, vegetables are heated, and cheese melts. Carefully remove from grill. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and grill vegetables and pitas as above.) Makes 4 pizzas.
