Print Options
Description
Light, fresh, easy, and delicious (with a hint of lemon)!
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Asparagus, Washed And Tough Ends Removed
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice, Freshly Squeezed
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 whole 300 Gram Whole Grain Flatbread (or Enough Dough For A 9x13 Square Pizza)
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- ¾ cups Part-skim Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Shave the asparagus down the length of the stalk with a vegetable peeler (you are basically shaving it into ribbons). Put the asparagus into a bowl and drizzle with lemon juice, one tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil all over the flatbread. Be sure to get the edges, so that they brown and crisp in the oven. Spread the minced garlic all over the flatbread and gently press it into the dough.
Top the flatbread with the asparagus, sprinkle with the mozzerella cheese, and then spread the cherry tomato halves over the cheese (consider seasoning the tomatoes with salt and pepper).
Bake the pizza for 15 minutes at 400°F (or to directions for your flatbread). Towards the end, put the oven on broil and brown the edges of the pizza for about 2 minutes with the oven door slightly open.
