Oven Roasted Asparagus Flatbread
flatbread or pizza
personally i prefer flatbread when cooking at home. you may also find that flatbread is more common when dining out. technically, flatbreads usually have a thinner crust, which is sometimes achieved by using an unleavened dough (without yeast). you’ll start by just rolling it very thin and bakeing it on a pizza stone. with asparagus season on the way, we thought it was the perfect vegetable to to top our flatbread with.
Ingredients:
Flatbread (store bought works fine)
Asparagus: 2 bundles
Red onion: 1 ounce, sliced into slivers
Lemon: 1 sliced
Garlic Cloves: 4 cloves, minced
Olive Oil: ¼ cup
Crumbled Feta: half cup
Salt / Pepper (to taste)
How to make this recipe:
Preheat oven to 450°.
Wash your asparagus & lemons.
Start slicing your red onion and lemon into thin slivers.
Place your flatbread on a baking sheet.
Add olive oil & minced garlic to your flatbread. Followed by your asparagus and sliced red onion.
Place your flatbread in the oven once preheated.
After 6 minutes, add crumbled feta cheese and return to oven for 6 to 8 more minutes or until crust is crispy and cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and drizzle with olive oil & fresh lemon slices. Feel free to top more crumbled feta on top for that extra zest.
Enjoy!
Chef Notes:
We prefer pencil thin asparagus for this recipe. It roasts faster, and it has a sweeter taste.
While we like feta cheese for this recipe, you can easily substitute for freshly grated parmesan cheese or asiago.
Got leftovers? Warm them up in a 400° oven for just a few minutes. This will crisp up the crust.
Serve Asparagus Flatbread with a simple salad, and it will make for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
