3 (398 ml) cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas)

3 cloves garlic

1 ½ small pkgs grape tomatoes

⅓ cup Kalamata olives, pitted

1 ½ lemons

¾ (227 g) block mozzarella cheese

1 ½ medium red onions

6 whole grain pitas

3 yellow bell peppers

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim, seed, and medium dice bell peppers. Place in a large bowl.

Halve tomatoes lengthwise and add to the bowl with the bell pepper.

Peel, halve, and small dice onions. Peel and mince garlic. Add both to the bowl.

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add veggies, basil, and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat. (Reserve bowl for next step.)

Meanwhile, drain and rinse chickpeas; place in the reserved bowl.

Juice lemons into the bowl with the chickpeas, then add tahini, oil, and spices. Using a fork or potato masher, roughly mash chickpeas until semi-smooth and set aside.

Coarsely grate cheese.

Halve olives lengthwise.

Divide pitas between two baking sheet pans; evenly top with chickpea spread, then cheese, veggies, and olives.

Place baking sheets in the oven and bake until pizzas are warmed through and cheese is melted, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into wedges.

To serve, divide pizzas between plates. Enjoy!
