Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Thinly slice the zucchini into rounds. Halve the grape tomatoes. Mince the garlic clove. Zest and juice the lemon. Chop the herb blend (chives).
  3. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, half the minced garlic, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  4. Heat 1 teaspoon cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini rounds and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate.
  5. In the same skillet, add the halved grape tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes until they start to soften. Remove from heat.
  6. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush each with a little olive oil. Bake for 5-7 minutes until crisp and lightly golden.
  7. Spread the lemon ricotta mixture evenly over the warm flatbreads. Top with the sautéed zucchini and tomatoes.
  8. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with chili flakes and garnish with the chopped herb blend. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

For extra crispiness, bake the flatbreads directly on the oven rack for a minute or two before adding toppings.

If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the chili flakes to 1/2 teaspoon or omit entirely.

Substitute the herb blend with fresh chives and parsley if unavailable.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of flatbread?

Yes, you can use naan, pita or any pre-made flatbread. Adjust baking time as needed to achieve desired crispness.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to restore crispness.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Substitute the ricotta with a dairy-free alternative like cashew cream or tofu ricotta and use a plant-based yogurt if needed.
