This shareable dish is the unsung hero of my summer!!! It’s like starting your dinner with shareable hummus and pita but taken up 500 notches with hot honey, feta, marjoram (don’t knock this fresh herb!!!) and lots of tender grilled vegetables. I truly shocked myself with this recipe and all of my friends keep asking me to make it over and over so you know it’s a hit! I think they love it because it’s something different than the traditional Italian skewing flatbreads out there. Also the veggies exude healthy energy and who doesn’t love something delicious that feels healthy?.
Grilled Hummus and Pita Veggie Flatbread
Ingredients
Flatbread:
- 1 lb whole wheat pizza dough
- Olive oil or avocado oil for brushing
Toppings:
- 1/2 cup red pepper hummus
- 1 large zucchini sliced on a bias into 1/4-inch thick strips
- 1 large summer squash sliced on a bias into 1/4-inch thick strips
- 1-2 bell peppers sliced into 2 inch strips
- 1 eggplant sliced lengthwise or crosswise into 1/4-inch thick strips
- Olive oil for grilling vegetables
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh marjoram leaves to taste (or oregano)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or to taste
- Hot honey for drizzling
- Black pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F/230°C).
- Grill the vegetables: Brush the zucchini, summer squash, and eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the vegetable slices on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until tender and grill marks appear.
- Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Close the grill and preheat to 500 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a long, thin oval shape. Brush one side of the dough with olive oil. Place the oiled side down on the grill. Close the grill, Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until grill marks appear and the dough begins to puff up. Flip the flatbread and grill for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the grilled flatbread from the grill and place it on a large cutting board or serving platter. Spread a layer of red pepper hummus over the flatbread. Arrange the grilled zucchini, summer squash, and eggplant slices on top. Sprinkle with fresh marjoram leaves and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with hot honey to taste and add black pepper. Cut the flatbread into slices and serve immediately. Enjoy
