Ingredients
2 flatbreads or naan
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or mozzarella for a milder option)
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook slowly, stirring often, until deeply golden and caramelized, about 15–20 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and stir.
-
While onions are cooking, toss bell pepper and zucchini in 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme. Grill the veggies on a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat for 3–5 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (or use grill at medium heat).
-
Place flatbreads on a baking sheet or directly on the grill. Top with caramelized onions, grilled veggies, and shredded cheese.
-
Bake or grill for 6–8 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are crisp.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Slice and serve warm
Notes
-
Use store-bought caramelized onions to save time.
-
Swap in mushrooms or eggplant for a different veggie mix.
-
Great as a vegetarian main or appetizer.
