Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
1 large flatbread or pre-made pizza dough, rolled out to 18-20 inches
1½ cups Awesome Arugula Pesto (see recipe)
1 (4 oz) bag Forward Greens Mighty Micros
1 zucchini, peeled into ribbons
8 ounces (2 pouches) burrata, torn into pieces
½ cup Castelvetrano olives, pitted and crushed with the base of a jar
Fresh basil leaves, torn
¼ cup grated parmesan
Olive oil, for finishing (lemon-infused if you have it!)
Scallions, for garnish (optional)
Flaky salt, for finishing
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and grease a pizza pan.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough into the pan when ready. If you’re using flatbread, prepare for baking the same way.
- Spread the pesto in a thick layer on the dough/bread, working from the middle out to the edges.
- Top with the Mighty Micros (reserve some for finishing), zucchini ribbons, burrata and olives. For raw dough, bake for 15-18 minutes, rotating the pie half way through. For flatbread, bake for 10-12 minutes or until the burrata becomes lightly browned and the flatbread is toasted.
- Remove from the oven and top with torn basil, grated parmesan and a healthy drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky salt and any remaining Mighty Micros if you like. Serve immediately.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
