Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Brush each flatbread with olive oil.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of hummus or herbed cream cheese over each flatbread.

Step 4

Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the sauce.

Step 5

Arrange the vegetables in rainbow order across the flatbreads: start with red (tomatoes), then orange (bell peppers), yellow (bell peppers and/or baby corn), green (spinach and broccoli), and finish with purple (cabbage and/or red onion).

Step 6

Sprinkle feta cheese over the top.

Step 7

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and flatbread edges are golden.

Step 8

Remove from oven, sprinkle with parsley and black pepper, slice, and serve warm.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the best results, make sure your vegetables are chopped into small, uniform pieces so they cook evenly in the short baking time. Pre-chop your broccoli florets finely to ensure they soften during baking. If using baby corn, slice it thinly for better distribution across the flatbread. Pat any wet vegetables dry with paper towels to prevent the flatbread from becoming soggy.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Swap hummus for tomato sauce or pesto for a different flavor profile. Add cooked chicken or chickpeas for extra protein to make this more filling. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flatbreads. You can also experiment with different vegetable combinations while maintaining the rainbow color scheme—try yellow squash, red cabbage, or green zucchini.
