Elaboración paso a paso
- Make your kale pesto by adding kale, pine nuts, olive oil, parmesan, and pepper to taste in a bowl of a food processor fitted with the S blade. Process until smooth. You may store your pesto in a tightly sealed jar in the fridge for up to one week
- Brush the bottom side of each pita with a bit of olive oil. Then, add a thin layer of kale pesto on the top side of the pita. Cover this with shredded mozzarella
- Using different colored veggies, make patterns, figures and/or let your kids design their own pizza
- Place pita pizzas on the BBQ grill and cover, to allow the cheese to melt, and cook for about 10 mins. Try for the temperature to be around 375°F. You may do this step in a small oven or Air Fryer as well

TIP!
It's helpful to brush the pita’s side that will touch the grill with olive oil. It will help to have a crunchier consistency with a lower burnt taste
