Some pizza recipes that have delicious new flavors, as well as low-fat and calories
1- Roast Capsicum & Eggplant Pizza
Vegetable pizzas are becoming more and more popular as people realize how much fat traditional pizzas made with salami, sausage and other high-fat meats contain.
Using flour tortillas as a quick pizza base is a great idea and is also much lower in fat and calories than regular pizza bases. Chutney has been used on these pizzas as this gives the pizza a great flavor.
Ingredients
1 tbsp. olive oil
8 small flour tortillas / pita breads
2 large capsicums, sliced thinly
1 large eggplant, sliced
50g low fat grated cheese (50% less fat)
1/2 cup chutney or 2 tbsp. pizza sauce
Method
Preheat oven to 180C.
Pepper and eggplant are greased with olive oil and placed on a hot barbecue plate or press sandwich until light brown. Set aside.
Place flour tortillas on large tray.
Spread with chutney and sprinkle each lightly with grated cheese.
Place capsicum and eggplant over the top.
Cook in oven for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
Serve with your favorite salad.
