Wonton Pizza Bites

Someone emailed me this idea a while back and I finally tried it. I like the idea of creating your own pizza bites. You can put anything in these things and make create appetizers!
- 16 wonton wrappers (I got them in the produce section, the were 3 points for 8)
- Tomato Paste (about 2 tablespoon)
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Basil or Italian Seasoning
- About ½ cup baby spinach leaves chopped
- About ½ bell pepper diced
- 5 small slices of turkey pepperoni diced
- 1 oz of mozzarella cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine the cheese, pepperoni, pepper and spinach.
Dap a bit of tomato paste with back side of a teaspoon in the center of each wrapper. Sprinkle with the spices. I used a mini muffin pan to create pockets by squishing the filling and pinching the ends together. If you wet the ends of the wrappers, they stick together very nicely.
Bake the bites for about 10 minutes in a preheated 375 degree oven. The tips will start getting brown.
Serve with a bit of sauce on the side!
The only points worth counting are the wrappers (6) and the cheese (2). So you can have 2 servings of 8 for 4 points each, 4 servings of 4 for 2 points each or do what I did and eat all of them for an 8 point lunch! ;~)
Note: these are just my estimates.

What a good idea. I’ll pick up some wonton wrappers next time at the store.

[…] To round out the menu, I tried Roni’s Wonton Pizza Bites. Man those things looked fancy and they weren’t hard to make at all. I wish I’d loaded the bites up better but I was running around like a madwoman. I couldn’t find turkey pepperoni at my local grocery and forgot the rest of the ingredients. So they basically turned into tiny little crispy pockets with some yummies in the very middle. I’m anxious to experiment with the remaining wonton wrappers. I’m thinking of one variety with spinach and a lowfat swiss? The other with black beans, corn and salsa. Yum! […]

[…] I haven’t stepped on the scale and I don’t plan to until Friday. I already feel better than what I did when I woke up Sunday morning before we came home. I am downing the water (a problem I did NOT have for once on vacation–higher altitude, I HAD to drink!) but hoping this will wash away any poundage. I had every intention of going to the park yesterday, but I didn’t make it. I spent all afternoon in the kitchen once I got home from the store. I made Roni’s Wonton Pizza Bites and those were awesome! Then for dinner, I made flatout pizzas. Can you tell I was in a pizza mood?? The flatouts were AWESOME!!! I always buy the sundried tomato flatouts, so I did that with Trader Joe’s pizza sauce, turkey pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese–all for only 4 points and it was filling!! The hubby, of course, loved everything. I am so lucky that he will eat anything and everything I make. […]

Tried these this week-end and couldn’t get over how easy and good these tasted. I used a tab of pizza sauce instead of the tomato paste & spices and we loved them. Will try again with other combinations. Thanks Roni for such great recipes !!

I made these this weekend and they were a big hit. I’m going to make them for appetizers for a birthday party coming up. I’m also going to try to make taco bites with some seasoned meat and taco cheese. Thanks for the great idea!
