Recipe: Trader Joe’s Garlic Naan Flatbreads

If it were up to my husband, we’d eat pizza for dinner every single night. Yes, even though we have a standing Pizza Friday each week, it’s just not enough for him. So I’m never surprised when he suggests these flatbreads for dinner, seeing as they’re essentially pizza with a fancy name. I usually let it slide since they’re such a quick, satisfying meal and I will also happily eat them on repeat. You just need three ingredients from Trader Joe’s to make these cheesy flatbreads possible.

I’ve long been a fan of the frozen garlic naan at Trader Joe’s. It’s come to the rescue multiple times when a quick dinner or easy side needs to be arranged.

Recently I stumbled upon vacuum-packed marinated vegetables and was so curious about their packaging, I grabbed one. Inside are semi-dried artichokes, zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes that are soaked in a garlic-oregano oil. They’re good enough to eat all on their own, but instead I chopped them up and used them as a base for veg-heavy flatbreads.

The naan doesn’t even need to be thawed for these — just place them on a baking sheet, top with the vegetables and plenty of shredded cheese (I like Trader Joe’s Quattro Formaggio Shredded Cheese Blend), and toss in the oven to warm up and allow the cheese to melt. Serve with a simple green salad, if you’re looking to round out the meal. (Or don’t, if you’re feeling lazy; that’s okay, too.)
