Grilled Veggie and Hummus Pita Pizza

This easy pita pizza recipe transitions nicely from summer to school time, by using the grill to make a healthy lunch box main or after-school snack.

Hummus is a naturally dairy-free prepared food, but be on the lookout as a few flavors may contain cheese, and some brands may cheap out and cut some dairy in as a filler. This recipe in particular uses Sabra Classic Hummus, which is a nice plain, but rich and flavorful variety.

If the weather gets too chilly for grilling (I know, perish the thought!), don’t be afraid to take to the stove for these pita pizzas. The vegetables can be roasted or sautéed, and the pitas can be toasted in a pan for just a minute over medium heat.

Special Diet Notes: Grilled Pita Pizza

By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, nut-free, peanut-free, vegan, plant-based, and vegetarian.

For gluten-free pita pizza, seek out store-bought pitas or go with homemade. If you can’t locate them and aren’t up for the baking challenge, switch to corn tortillas for a tostada-style pizza. You can even expand on the Mexican influence by swapping the hummus for dairy-free guacamole, which is also soy-free.
