A quick and easy flatbread pizza loaded with fresh spring veggies, creamy ricotta, melty mozzarella, and a bright lemony finish. Perfect for a light lunch, snack, or casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized store-bought flatbreads (8–10 inches / 20–25 cm)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 100g)
  • 6–8 asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4–5 medium radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup loosely packed baby spinach (about 30g), washed and dried
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven to heat up.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss asparagus pieces and red onion slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and minced garlic.
  3. Spread the veggies on a small baking tray and roast for 8-10 minutes until tender but still bright green and slightly crisp.
  4. In a bowl, combine ricotta and shredded mozzarella. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Optionally stir in a teaspoon of lemon zest.
  5. Remove the hot baking sheet or stone from the oven and place the flatbreads directly on it.
  6. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  7. Layer the roasted asparagus and onions on top of the cheese, followed by thin slices of radish and scattered baby spinach leaves.
  8. Return the flatbreads to the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and edges are golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chopped basil or parsley over the top. Squeeze fresh lemon juice and drizzle honey lightly.
  10. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Preheat the baking surface to ensure a crisp crust. Roast veggies separately to avoid sogginess. Don’t overload toppings to keep crust crisp. Use fresh, high-quality cheeses for best melt and flavor. Let pizza rest briefly after baking for easier slicing. Optional: add red pepper flakes for heat or drizzle chili oil after baking.
