Mini Caprese Pizzas

Recipe modified from http://www.skinnymom.com/skinny-mini-caprese-pizzas/

Ingredients

30
halved cherry tomatoes
14
teaspoon garlic powder
1
teaspoon Italian seasoning
6
halved light 100% whole grain English muffins
2
cups fresh baby spinach
14
cup fresh basil, chopped
8
oz. fresh low-fat mozzarella cheese, sliced into thin disks
2
tsp. balsamic vinegar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400° F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment
paper or a silicone baking mat.

Line the baking sheet with the tomatoes, and evenly sprinkle the garlic powder
and Italian seasoning over them. Generously spray the tomatoes with nonstick
cooking spray (olive oil flavor is suggested).

Roast in the oven until the tomato skins begin to split and wrinkle,
8-10 minutes. Take out and set aside.

To assemble the pizzas, line a second rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
and place all 12 English muffin halves on the baking sheet, cut­ side up.

Evenly divide the spinach, cheese, and tomatoes between all 12 pizzas.
Layer the spinach, then cheese, then 5 tomatoes, and finally sprinkle
the basil evenly over all 12 pizzas.

Bake the pizzas in the 400° F oven for 10-­12 minutes,
or until the cheese is melted and gooey.

Drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving.
