Avocado Pita Pizzas

This post is sponsored by the Hass Avocado Board

Foodblog (3 of 13)

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the level of enthusiasm we all should be embracing when enjoying avocados! Nom!

Eatin Hard

Smashed avocados were one of Mazen’s very first foods, and they continue to be a staple in our house, from slices on a plate to yogamole. I consider avocados to be one of the world’s most nutritious and delicious foods. This paper just published named them one of the best first foods for babies. They contain good-for-you monounsaturated fats, plus they are a good source of fiber, folate, and contain potassium, vitamin E, and vitamin C. Raise your (little) hand if that makes you happy!

Mazen Avocado

To celebrate our love for avocados, Mazen and I made these pita pizzas. He loves anything in pizza form, and these are great for avocado lovers of all ages.

The ingredients include an assortment of fresh things like sprouts, tomato, and fresh oregano. Feel free to tweak the ingredients to what you have on hand.

I used prepared pesto (an artichoke pesto!) as the sauce, but you can also just brush the pitas with olive oil and some dried herbs. Top each pita with a heaped tablespoon of sauce, and a tomato slice.

Followed by a generous amount of shredded cheese!

Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until pitas are toasted and cheese is melted.

Slice the avocado and arrange onto pitas

And top with sprouts and oregano.

Finally, dollops of Greek yogurt (or sour cream if you fancy) add the perfect cool touch. Salt and pepper to taste!

    When I first read this I kept reading PIT pizzas and was frantically scanning to see how you used the pit of the avocado. Nope, it’ says pita and I clearly need more coffee this morning! These look amazing we have PITAs in the freezer going to pull them out on my way to the coffee pot. Oy vey.

      I agree! I thought she said PIT as well. I was like wait, I just threw away two of those last night, what am I missing out on. BUT this sounds so much better!

    I love that you used avocados for the tomato sauce instead! I think green looks better.

    I don’t know why I’ve never thought about putting avocado on pizza because they are my two favourite things but this recipe is a must try!!

    Thanks for the flashback photos of Mazen! For us readers it feels like time has flashed by. How is he 4?!? I can’t imagine how you feel. He is just precious (and so are you)! Keep up the great work and doing what makes you happy 🙂

    I’ve never had avocados and sprouts together before! I hope the texture together doesn’t weird me out. These look so good that I have to give them a try!

    I’ve been doing a simplified version of this as a snack! Cut a whole wheat tortilla into wedges; toast the wedges; top with avocado slice; and sprinkle with salt + herbs of choice (I enjoy Penzey’s “Sandwich Sprinkle,” which includes salt). Just wish we could grow our own avocados!
