4-6
ingredients
- 2 Japanese eggplants, cut into 1/4 inch slices (I actually used 1 and 1/2 American Eggplant because that's what I had)
- 2 yellow onions, cut into wedges
- 2 red bell peppers, diced
- 3 cups mushrooms, thickly sliced
- 4 teaspoons dried basil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon coriander
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
- 1 cup chopped tomato, I used fresh but you could use canned
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 6 whole wheat pita bread
directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Prepare the eggplants, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms as directed. Place in a single layer in one or two large baking dishes.
- Toss veggies with 3 teaspoons of the basil and the cinnamon, coriander, and salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the eggplant is fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
- Reduce oven to 350 degrees.
- To make the sauce, combine the roasted red peppers with the tomatoes, garlic, and remaining teaspoon of basil (I threw mine into a food processor).
- To assemble the pizzas, spread a layer of the sauce on the whole-wheat pitas; top with a generous layer of the roasted vegetables; and bake on a baking sheet for 15 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I've lived in Seattle for the last 6 years, 4 of which I was a student at the University of Washington. I've worked at Amazon.com since practically the day I graduated and am in my 3rd position here. My job is fun and challenging however, I will admit that whenever I need a brain break my fingers always find there way to recipezaar.com. I love to cook (needless to say), run, read, hang out with my friends, and anything that involves being outside on a sunny day. I have a definite passion for nutrition. I think that having a working knowledge of how your body uses food (and which foods are best) is one of the most powerful things in life. I plan on being here for a long time and need a healthy body to do it!
