Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup asparagus sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 3 pieces naan bread plain
  • ¼ cup basil pesto or any pesto of choice
  • ¾ cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced asparagus and mushrooms and cook for ~5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Remove from heat.
  • Place each piece of naan bread directly on a rack in the center of the oven. Cook for 2 minutes before removing with an oven mitt. Pull the rack out and use your oven mitt to slide each pizza onto a plate or cutting board.
  • Use a butter knife or silicone brush to spread a thin layer of basil pesto on each piece of naan. Then sprinkle on a layer of mozzarella cheese. Add about ⅓ of the cooked veggies to each pizza, then sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
  • Put the pizzas back into the oven, placing them directly on the center rack again, and bake for 4-5 minutes or until the edges get crispy and the cheese is melted. Enjoy warm!
