Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 slices Naan bread
  • 1 cup Hummus (plain or garlic flavor)
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and sliced)
  • 4 oz Feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh oregano (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • to taste Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you plan to use the broiler for crisping, ensure the oven rack is in the upper third of the oven.

  2. 2

    Arrange the naan breads on a large baking sheet. Drizzle each naan with about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and spread it evenly.

  3. 3

    Spread approximately 1/4 cup of hummus evenly over each naan, leaving a small border for the crust.

  4. 4

    Evenly distribute the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese over the hummus on each naan.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the naan edges are golden brown and crispy, and the feta is slightly softened and warm.

  6. 6

    For extra crispiness, switch your oven to broiler mode (high setting) for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. The cheese should get lightly golden and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Remove the naan pizzas from the oven. Garnish generously with fresh oregano and parsley, and a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.

  8. 8

    Slice each naan pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your quick and flavorful meal!

Chef's Tips

  • 💡For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the naan in a dry pan for a minute on each side before adding toppings.
  • 💡Experiment with different hummus flavors like roasted red pepper or sundried tomato for a unique twist.
  • 💡If you like a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes sprinkled over the toppings before baking would be a great addition.
  • 💡Feel free to add other Mediterranean vegetables like thinly sliced red onion or bell peppers if desired.
