Easy Naan Pesto Veggie Pizza

This recipe is a perfect example of craving pizza, but wanting to be healthy, so finding a way around it. We were at the store and wanted to do something simple for lunch. So we grabbed a couple of whole wheat naan breads, some pre-sliced and cut veggies and some fresh mozzarella and made this up as we went. It was delicious. And proof that you can find ways around your unhealthy cravings and make them healthy!

Easy Naan Pesto Veggie Pizza

 

• 2 whole wheat naan breads
• one package of fresh veggies cut up (we used a combo of stir fry like veggies, broccoli, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, mushrooms and even some carrot)
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 oz fresh mozzarella torn into tiny bits
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 fresh tomato, diced 
• 1/4 cup prepared pesto
• salt and pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 350. Put the naan breads on a baking sheet sprayed with olive oil cooking spray.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil. Throw in vegetables, season with salt and pepper and saute for about 10 minutes until they start to get tender. Add in red pepper flakes and saute for about 5 more minutes. You want the veggies fully cooked before putting them on the pizza.
3. While the veggies cook, put the naan in the oven to start it heating for about 5 minutes so ti starts to crisp up.
4. Pull out the naan, brush each with a bit of pesto, enough for flavor that won't make it soggy. Top with veggies. Then top with fresh tomato and fresh mozzarella.
5.  Put in the oven and bake for about 7-10 minutes until cheese melts.
