Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and thinly shred them using a knife or mandoline.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest (from half the lemon), Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Top with the shredded Brussels sprouts, then sprinkle the Italian cheese blend and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the flatbreads are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Drizzle with hot honey and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top. Slice and serve warm.

Recipe Tips

For extra crispy flatbreads, bake them directly on the oven rack for the last 2 minutes.

If you prefer a milder honey flavor, use regular honey instead of hot honey.

Feel free to add cooked bacon or chicken for a non-vegetarian version.
