Description

This Earth Day-inspired recipe for spring green flatbread with edamame pesto is just as awesome as pizza. But, unlike traditional pizza, it’s 100% plant-based and full of spring (and green) delight. The flatbread is such a tasty way to get veggies (hello, asparagus!), too.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Edamame Pesto

  • 1/2 cup frozen shelled organic edamame, prepared per package directions
  • 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
  • 1/3 cup pan-toasted walnut pieces
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • 1 ice cube

Flatbread

  • 2 (3-ounce) whole grain naan or other flatbread
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Veggies

  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil or sunflower oil
  • 2 cups packed fresh seasonal veggies (try asparagus pieces, snow peas, and sliced mushrooms)
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh herb leaves (such as mint), microgreens, or edible flowers, or to taste


Instructions

  1. Make the Edamame Pesto: Puree all ingredients in a blender or food processor until desired texture, about 2 minutes. (Makes about 1 cup.)
  2. Grill the Flatbread: Fully heat a large grill-pan (or outdoor grill) over medium-high heat. Brush the bottom of the naan with the olive oil. Grill just the bottom of each naan until rich grill marks form, about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Sauté the Veggies: Fully heat the avocado oil in large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the veggies and sauté until cooked through and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Season with salt. (Hint: You can use grilled or leftover veggies of choice, too.)
  4. Top and Serve: Top each grilled naan with the edamame pesto, sautéed veggies, and herbs. Cut each in half or into 4 slices each and serve as entrée.*

Notes

Shelled edamame can be prepared in advance and chilled. Edamame Pesto can also be prepared in advance and chilled. If Edamame Pesto is made in advance, ideally let it stand for 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.

*Alternatively, enjoy the whole flatbread as a one-dish meal (makes 2 servings) or serve one slice each as an appetizer (makes 8 servings).
