Vegan Pita Pizzas

Preheat the oven to 450 F. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet. Spread 2-3 T. of the pizza sauce on each of the pita breads. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded dairy-free cheese on each of the pita breads. Evenly distribute the broccoli and olives onto each of the pizzas.

Bake the pizzas for 8-12 minutes, or until the dairy-free cheese has melted slightly and he edges of the pizzas are crisp. (For crispier pizzas, leave them in longer; for softer pizzas, take them out between 8 and 10 minutes.) Allow pizzas to cool on the pan for a minute or so before slicing into quarters and serving. Serve hot with red pepper flakes and dairy-free Parmesan, if desired.
