Instructions:
Wash and thinly slice the potatoes. You can use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to get uniform thin slices.
In a large skillet, lightly coat with cooking spray oil and cook the potato slices over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until they are tender and slightly golden. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add a bit more cooking spray oil if needed. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lay out the pita breads on baking sheets. If needed, lightly spray with cooking spray oil.
- Spread ¼ cup of ricotta cheese evenly over each pita bread.
- Layer the cooked potato slices evenly over the ricotta.
- Top with wilted spinach and garlic mixture.
- Distribute the cherry tomato slices evenly over the pizzas.
- Sprinkle each pizza with ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the assembled pita pizzas in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pita is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Potato, Ricotta, and Spinach Pizzas!
Tips:
- Slice the potatoes thinly to ensure they cook evenly and become tender while baking.
- Pre-cooking the spinach by sautéing it with garlic helps to release excess moisture, preventing a soggy pizza.
- Use whole grain pita bread for a healthier option and added fiber.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs, such as oregano or basil, for extra flavor.
- Make sure to preheat the oven to ensure the pizza crust becomes crispy.
