Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Assemble the Mini Pizzas:

Place the mini pizza crusts or chosen base (like pita bread, English muffins, or zucchini slices) on the prepared baking sheet.

• Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and any optional toppings like red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning.

3. Bake the Pizzas:

Bake the mini pizzas in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
