Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 flatbreads
Vegetables & Toppings
- 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced and grilled
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
- A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a baking sheet inside to heat. This ensures a hot surface for crisping the flatbread.
- Prepare Vegetables: In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced grilled zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, and sweet corn kernels with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated and flavorful.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and line it with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Assemble Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads onto the prepared baking sheet, then evenly distribute the seasoned vegetable mixture over each flatbread. Sprinkle crumbled feta or goat cheese on top for creaminess and tang.
- Bake: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn crisp and the cheese begins to melt slightly.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the torn fresh basil leaves and optional red pepper flakes on the flatbreads for a fresh, aromatic finish with a hint of heat.
- Serve: Slice the flatbreads and serve warm as a light and satisfying meal or snack.
Notes
- Grilling the zucchini before assembling adds a smoky flavor; alternatively, you could roast or sauté them.
- For a vegan version, substitute the feta cheese with a plant-based cheese or omit it entirely.
- Feel free to customize with other summer veggies like bell peppers or eggplant.
- Use gluten-free flatbreads if you require a gluten-free option.
- Red pepper flakes add spice; adjust or omit according to your heat preference.
