Greek Style Roasted Potato and Gyro Pita Pizza with Kale Pistou

Greek Style Roasted Potato and Gyro Pita Pizza with Kale Pistou

I’m a SUCKER for a great pizza and these pita creations are perfectly portioned and PACKED with just the right Greek-inspired flavor. The combination of a perfectly crisped pita crust with the tangy Greek Style pizza sauce, earthy roasted potatoes, umami-rich pulled pork and just enough feta, with and the fresh kale pistou to add just the right amount of acid and crispness is a WINNER! I love getting in the greens with something that’s rich to give it that needed freshness.

Paleo and keto friendly to meet many dietary needs. Omit pulled pork for a gluten and meat-free winner!

 

 

1 1/2 lbs. yellow and red baby potatoes, pre-roasted and cut in half

1/4 cup EVOO
