Hummus Flatbread Pizza Recipe
Description
This Hummus Flatbread Pizza is a fresh, vibrant, and healthy twist on traditional pizza. Instead of tomato sauce and cheese, this recipe uses creamy hummus as the base, topped with colorful vegetables, herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil or balsamic glaze. It’s quick, satisfying, and packed with nutrients — perfect for a light lunch or a meatless dinner.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the Flatbread:
2 flatbreads (whole wheat or regular nan, pita, or lavash)
1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
Toppings:
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
1/2 bell pepper (red or yellow), thinly sliced
1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional for non-vegan)
1 handful arugula or baby spinach
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: balsamic glaze, chili flakes, za’atar, or lemon juice
Hummus (Homemade Option)
Ingredients:
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahin
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp salt
2–4 tbsp water (to desired consistency)
Optional: pinch of cumin or smoked paprika
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Instructions
Preheat oven (optional step):
If you prefer your flatbread slightly crisp, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and toast the flatbreads on a baking sheet for 5–6 minutes.
Spread the base:
Allow flatbread to cool slightly, then generously spread a thick layer of hummus across each flatbread.
Add toppings:
Arrange cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, bell peppers, olives, and arugula on top of the hummus. Sprinkle with feta cheese if using.
Drizzle and season:
Drizzle olive oil (or balsamic glaze) over the top. Add salt, black pepper, and optional toppings like chili flakes or za’atar.
Sere:
Slice and enjoy immediately. You can also chill it and serve as a cold flatbread for a refreshing snack or appetizer.
