Directions
Gently heat your oven to 435°F (225°C). Place a tortilla on a pizza stone and brush it with a tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle some oregano, salt, and pepper over the top. Next, layer on zucchini slices, tomato slices, spinach, olives, and a generous handful of Parmesan cheese. Add a little more oregano, salt, and pepper, then sprinkle on some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Drizzle the rest of the olive oil over everything. Pop it in the oven and bake until the tortilla is nice and crispy and the cheese has melted, which should take about 15 minutes. Once it’s done, take it out, slice it up, and enjoy!
Serving Options
Serve warm with a fresh side salad or roasted vegetables to balance the meal. A drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or oregano can add extra flavor. Pair with a cold drink for a refreshing finish.
How To Preserve This Dish
Store any leftover flatbread pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep the crust crispy instead of using a microwave. For longer storage, freeze the flatbread separately and add toppings fresh when ready to eat.
