Pizza is always an event in my house. Even on an ordinary day or if we’re just ordering take-out, everyone gets excited for pizza night. Homemade pizza is my favorite, but making the dough and sauce, grating cheese, and prepping toppings can turn into quite an undertaking. With this in mind, I’ve been perfecting a wholesome, simple pizza recipe that’s right for busy evenings or relaxed weekend dinners. That’s where these flatbread pizzas come in – flatbreads make for a surprisingly delicious crust (chewy and crisp, just as pizza should be), and are incredibly convenient to boot.

For your next family pizza night, give this fun, vegetable-topped flatbread pizza a try. All you’ll need to get started is a bag of flatbreads, your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and a few vegetables. This recipe makes the most of the season’s bounty by highlighting fresh summer squash and zucchini, and presenting them in fun ways. My kids had almost as much fun planning the designs as they did eating the pizzas!

Makes: 6 small pizzas

• 6 flatbreads or Naan rounds
• 2 small summer squash, ends trimmed
• 2 small zucchini, ends trimmed
• 2 cups pizza sauce or marinara
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• Sea salt to taste

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Set out 2 large rimmed baking sheets.
2. In a small saucepan, warm pizza sauce over medium-low heat.
3. Set out 1 summer squash and 1 zucchini. Run a peeler lengthwise over the vegetables to make thin “ribbons” out of each vegetable. Slice remaining summer squash and zucchini into thin rounds.
4. To assemble pizzas, lay flatbreads out on the rimmed baking sheets and spread about 1/3 cup pizza sauce on each. Sprinkle each with 1/3 cup mozzarella.

Enjoy!
