Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then peppers and garlic salt. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
Arrange pitas on an unlined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 3-4 min. Carefully remove from the oven, then spread marinara evenly over tops of pitas. (TIP: You can use any leftover marinara as a dipping sauce!) Sprinkle mozzarella and peppers over top. Bake in the middle of the oven until cheese melts, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!)
Meanwhile, peel, then halve carrot lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch spears.
