Ingredients:
- 4 flatbreads or naan breads (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 1 small zucchini, sliced thin
- 1 bell pepper, sliced thin
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
- Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat.
- Prepare the Flatbreads: Brush both sides of the flatbreads with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote a crispy texture while grilling.
- Assemble the Pizzas: Place the flatbreads on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. Top with mozzarella cheese, crumbled feta (if using), and a mix of the fresh veggies: zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and spinach. Sprinkle with dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the Pizzas:
- Place the flatbreads on the preheated grill or grill pan. Grill for 3-5 minutes on the first side, until the crust is golden and crispy.
- Carefully flip the pizzas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, and the veggies are tender.
- Serve: Remove the pizzas from the grill. If desired, drizzle with balsamic glaze for added sweetness and garnish with fresh basil. Slice and serve immediately.
Expert Tips for the Recipe:
- Veggie Variations: Feel free to swap out or add any of your favorite vegetables. Mushrooms, artichokes, or olives make excellent additions to this grilled pizza.
- Cheese Options: You can experiment with different cheeses like goat cheese, Parmesan, or even a vegan cheese if you prefer a dairy-free option.
- Grill Temperature: Keep the grill at medium-high heat to ensure a crisp crust without overcooking the toppings. If grilling in direct heat, be sure to flip the pizza to avoid burning.
- Make-Ahead: You can prep the flatbread pizzas ahead of time by assembling them and covering them with plastic wrap until ready to grill. This is a great time-saver for parties or family dinners.
