Ingredients

Flatbread Base

  • 1 large flatbread or naan
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Toppings

  • 2 medium beets, roasted, peeled, and thinly sliced
  • 4 oz (115 g) goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup arugula or mixed greens
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread.
  2. Prepare Flatbread: Place the flatbread on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil to ensure a crisp and golden crust.
  3. Assemble Toppings: Evenly arrange the thinly sliced roasted beets over the flatbread surface. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese, thinly sliced red onion, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper evenly on top.
  4. Bake Flatbread: Bake the assembled flatbread in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges become crisp and the goat cheese starts to soften and slightly melt.
  5. Add Fresh Toppings: Remove the baked flatbread from the oven and immediately top with fresh arugula and toasted, chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor contrast.
  6. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the flatbread with balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy finish. Slice into pieces and serve warm to enjoy the harmonious blend of seasonal flavors.

Notes

  • Use store-bought roasted beets to reduce prep time.
  • Substitute goat cheese with feta or ricotta for a different creamy texture.
  • Add caramelized onions for extra sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based cheese or omit the cheese altogether.
  • Add the arugula after baking to keep it fresh and crisp.
