Roasted Spring Veggie Flatbread

This Roasted Spring Veggie Flatbread is loaded with caramelized roasted veggies, sharp white cheddar cheese all on top of a garlic-y naan bread. Say hello to the Spring dinner of your dreams.

This post was originally published in May of 2018 but I updated the photos and included better instruction in the recipe!

I love carbs. Specifically bread. Any kind will do, really. I’ll take a big fat slice of toasted sourdough smothered with butter. Or maybe a nice crusty baguette slathered with olive oil and balsamic. I’ll even take a loaded PB+J on plain ol’ white bread. Yup, if it has carbs, you can bet I’ll be eating it.

Spring + Couponing + Carbs

That’s why I was so excited this past weekend when I got a bunch of naan bread on sale at the grocery store. I’ve recently been attempting to coupon because, well, I just love saving money. I always grew up in a frugal family and it was important for me to keep that mindset when I had my own home and family. Anyone else love a good sale?!

Anyway! It’s Spring time now, which I’m so excited about. Spring to me is all about light, easy dishes. I don’t want anything super heavy to weigh me down as I go walk to get ice cream right?! Right.

So, I took it upon myself to create the best of both worlds: bread + veggies in one delicious, light, perfect Spring dish.

I love how crispy and caramelized the veggies get in the oven. They just ooooooze delightful flavors. Sitting atop of the crunchy roasted garlic naan. Oh man.

I think my favorite vegetable on the flatbread had to be the squash! It was so crunchy and flavorful – not watery or dissolve in your mouth at all (like squash/zucchini can occasionally be)

Oh, and I might have forgotten to mention but this has TWO TYPES OF CHEESE ON IT.

Listen, if I’m trying to eat healthy/light for Spring, it’s okay if I put a little sprinkling of cheese on it okay?! I know y’all understand me, I guess I’m just talking to my inner demons who want me to give up dairy. (Not gonna happen anytime soon!)

Keep in mind, you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand. It’s really a blank canvas.

Ingredients you Need:

• asparagus
• garlic naan bread
• yellow squash
• zucchini
• broccoli
• red onion
• mushrooms
• sharp white cheddar cheese
• feta cheese
• salt, pepper, garlic powder
• fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
• red pepper flakes (optional)

How to Make Roasted Spring Veggie Flatbread:

Preheat the oven to 350. Slice and dice all of your vegetables! On a sheet pan, spread them out into a single layer. Sprinkle with a generous drizzle of olive oil as well as garlic powder and salt and pepper. Roast for 6-7 minutes.

Once those few minutes are up, take the sheet pan out of the oven and remove the onions and the mushrooms, as they are probably fully cooked through by now. No over-done mushy veg for us, folks! You can just place the mushrooms + onions on a plate and set it aside for now.

Place the sheet pan BACK in the oven, crank up the oven to 400 and continue roasting the remaining vegetables for 10 or so minutes. Once they’re done, place them on the plate with the onions and mushrooms.

To the sheet pan, add your two pieces of garlic naan bread. Toast these in the oven for 2 minutes. Remove, add a big helping of sharp white cheddar cheese, top with your spring veggies and back into the oven they go! Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Annnnnd you’re done! Top with amazing feta cheese. I always forget how much I love feta until I actually buy it and I’m like wow, why do I deprive myself of this goodness? It just gives it this tangy, creaminess that’s delightful on top of the roasted veggies. Also fresh herbs work super well as a garnish. I used parsley! Lastly, if you want a spicy kick, add a few sprinkles of crushed red pepper flakes. Yoooow!

Enjoy these easy, low-maintenance Spring dinner accompanied by a nice glass of vino and a loved one whether that be your husband, dog, cat or Netflix. #nojudgementhere
