Ingredients

Optional Homemade Flatbread Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat a pan over medium heat. Saute the garlic, corn, squash, salt, pepper, onions, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper in 2 tsp olive oil in a pan. Cook through for 5-10 minutes.
  • Warm pita bread in the oven or the toaster oven. Brush with 1/4 tsp olive oil.
  • Top each flatbread with the zucchini mixture (about ½ cup per flatbread, but you can put as much of it on as you like).
  • Then, add ¼ cup of vegan cheese and 1 tsp of fresh thyme to each flatbread.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Optional Homemade Flatbread Instructions

  • Melt the vegan butter and almond milk over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients including the flour and salt. Add the melted butter and milk. Using a spatula fold together until the flour is absorbed.
  • Turn your dough out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough until it is smooth. This should only take a few minutes. For a less hands-on approach use your food processor to combine the ingredients and knead the dough for you.
  • Place the ball of dough in a large mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the ball of dough to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Dust your surface with a little bit of flour. Place the dough ball on the floured surface and cut it into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball. Then roll them out flat using a rolling pin.
  • Heat a large pan over high heat. There's no need to add any oil. Place one of the flatbreads in the pan. Cook on each side for about 1 1/2 minutes. For best results, wait to flip the flatbread until it is golden brown puffs up. Continue with the rest of the flatbreads.

Notes

Top Tips For Making Vegan Flatbread
  • Use whole-wheat pita bread or a sprouted wheat tortilla for additional fiber.
  • Feel free to switch up the vegan cheese and toppings to suit your family's tastes!
  • You don't need fresh corn for this recipe - canned or frozen would work just as well. If you use frozen corn, defrost it in the microwave or in the fridge before sautéing it with the other veggies.
  • Don't overload on the vegan cheese, a little goes a long way!
  • This recipe is for 2 flatbreads and depending on how big your zucchinis are you may end up with toppings for a little more than 2 flatbreads. Use the leftover toppings as a filling for tacos, quesadillas, or just make more flatbreads the next day! :)
