Ingredients

  • Sliced small yellow squash
  • Thinly sliced ¼ red bell pepper
  • Thinly sliced ¼ medium red onion
  • Olive oil (1 teaspoon)
  • Ricotta cheese (⅓ cup)
  • Lemon zest (1 teaspoon)
  • Naan bread (1 piece)
  • Shredded Gruyere cheese (¼ cup)
  • Optional pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh basil (1 teaspoon)
  • Lemon wedges (1 piece)

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for that perfect baking temperature.

Step 2

Next, get creative with your squash and cut it into delightful spirals using a spiralizer. Make sure to use the large shredding blade for those beautiful swirls.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix together the spiralized squash, bell pepper, onion, and a drizzle of olive oil. Give it a good toss and let the flavors mingle for a bit.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, combine creamy ricotta cheese with zesty lemon zest. Spread this luscious mixture evenly over your naan bread, making sure to leave a small border around the edges. Sprinkle some rich Gruyere cheese on top of the ricotta layer.

Step 5

Now, it's time to layer on the squash mixture onto the naan, spreading it out evenly. For an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle some red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper on top of everything.

Step 6

Carefully transfer your assembled masterpiece onto a baking sheet and pop it into the preheated oven. Bake until the bottom is gloriously crisp and the edges turn a beautiful golden brown, which usually takes around 12 minutes.

Step 7

Once out of the oven, garnish your creation with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and serve it up with some lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy this flavorful and visually stunning dish!
