Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large flatbreads
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
• Olive oil for drizzling
• Fresh arugula for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped basil, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
3. Spread the herbed ricotta mixture evenly over each flatbread.
4. Top with sliced roasted red peppers, distributing them evenly on the flatbreads.
5. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top for added flavor.
6. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
8. Garnish with fresh arugula, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Tip: For added flavor, consider using flavored olive oil or adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the top before serving. You can also substitute the ricotta with goat cheese for a tangier taste. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flatbread.

Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or toaster oven to retain their crispiness!
