Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet (or two for 4 servings). Wash and dry produce. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise, then slice crosswise into half-moons. Halve tomatoes. Peel and mince garlic. Zest lemon, then quarter it.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and softened, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, minced garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- In another small bowl, mix half the lemon zest, ricotta, ½ tsp olive oil (1 tsp for 4 servings) and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly with lemon ricotta. Top with zucchini and tomatoes (cut sides up). Bake until flatbreads are golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pick parsley leaves from stems and roughly chop. Mince chives. When flatbreads are done, top with parsley, chives, remaining lemon zest and chili flakes to taste. Drizzle with honey. Slice and serve with lemon wedges.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispiness, preheat the baking sheet in the oven before adding the flatbreads.
If you like more heat, add extra chili flakes or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Use a good quality ricotta for the creamiest texture.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of flatbread?
Yes, any flatbread like naan, pita or pre-made pizza crust will work. Adjust baking time as needed.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Substitute ricotta with a dairy-free alternative like cashew cream or tofu ricotta and use agave instead of honey.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or oven to maintain crispness.
