Time
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 8–10 minutes
Total time: 18–20 minutes
Serves: 2–3
Ingredients
For the base:
1 large naan bread, flatbread, or pizza crust
½ cup hummus (plain, roasted garlic, or roasted red pepper)
1 tsp olive oil
Toppings:
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped
Optional extras:
Pinch of za’atar or dried oregano
Drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil or balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place your flatbread or pizza crust on a baking tray. Brush edges with a little olive oil for crispness (optional).
Spread hummus evenly over the base, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, red onion, and roasted peppers evenly over the hummus.
Sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
Bake for 8–10 minutes—just enough to warm the crust and slightly soften the veggies.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil, and optionally dust with za’atar or drizzle with olive oil/balsamic glaze.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes & Tips
Make it gluten-free by using a GF flatbread or cauliflower crust.
Add protein with grilled chicken, falafel, or chickpeas.
Use homemade hummus for a fresher flavor.
Meal prep tip: Chop all veggies ahead of time; assemble just before baking.
