    1 Preheat oven to 180ºC. Line three baking trays with baking paper. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic and rosemary. Place mushrooms on one of the prepared trays and brush with oil mixture. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.

    2 Place pita breads on the two remaining trays. Spread 3 teaspoons pesto over each pita bread. Top with cooked mushrooms, courgette, chicken, capsicum and feta.

    3 Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until pizzas are golden and crisp, swapping trays halfway through cooking time. Top with rocket. Serve.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free wraps instead of pita bread and check pesto is gluten free.
