Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large store-bought flatbreads (thin and crispy)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for brushing and tossing veggies)
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or dairy-free alternative)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Veggies (10 minutes): In a large bowl, combine the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Add the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped basil and oregano, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss gently to coat evenly and set aside to marinate.
  2. Preheat the Grill (5-10 minutes): Light your grill and heat it to medium-high (about 400°F / 200°C).
  3. Grill the Veggies (8-10 minutes): Using a grill-safe pan or basket, place the marinated veggies on the grill. Cook until slightly charred and tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat once roasted.
  4. Prepare Flatbreads (2 minutes): Brush both sides of each flatbread lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  5. Grill Flatbreads (4-6 minutes): Place flatbreads directly on grill grates. Grill 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully with tongs.
  6. Assemble the Pizza (3 minutes): Remove flatbreads from grill, sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over each, then top with grilled veggie mixture.
  7. Final Melt (2-3 minutes): Return assembled flatbreads to grill over indirect heat just long enough to melt cheese, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Serve: Remove from grill, let cool for a minute, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

Brush flatbreads with olive oil to prevent sticking and achieve a crispy crust. Watch grill temperature closely to avoid burning. Use indirect heat to melt cheese without burning the crust. Keep a spray bottle of water nearby to control flare-ups. Veggies can be marinated ahead and grilled fresh. For gluten-free, use almond or coconut flour flatbreads. Vegan options available with dairy-free cheese.
