  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place 6 mini pita breads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tsp dried oregano over all the pizzas.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil evenly across the pizzas to help roast the vegetables and crisp the edges.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to brown, and the pita edges are crisp.
  8. Step 8: Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving warm.
