At this point in my life I have to face the cold hard facts. As scary as they are. Between working full time and having a very active two year old I just can't seem to find the extra time to make home made gnocchi, pasta from scratch, grow my own garden or...make crust and be able to do a few fun things on the weekends. I've had crust on the to do list hanging over my head, taunting me every chance it gets.
Crust: I'm crust. I'm better home made. I'm so easy even you should be able to make me.
Me: Look crust, I know you are easy and delicious but I'm just going to use naan for now.
Crust:You aren't a real foodie if you can't even make your own crust.
Me: That's it crust, you are OFFmy to-do list. For now.
I'll just shut up now and let the pictures speak for themselves on how the naan crust came out. In fact, this time I'll post ALL the pictures just to shut that crust up.
1 whole wheat naan 1 zucchini sliced lengthwise 3 cherry tomatoes, I used Campari 1/4 green pepper Coarse sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste Garlic Powder, to taste Olive oil spray, I used an olive oil mister 3 Tbsp pasta sauce 1/4 cup herbed goat cheese 1/4 cup cubed cooked chicken (optional, you could leave this off for a vegetarian option) 1 sprig of thyme, leaves chopped
Directions
1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
2. Season the zucchini, tomatoes and green pepper with salt, pepper and garlic powder and spray all sides evenly with olive oil spray. Grill each side 4 to 5 minutes or to desired done-ness.
3. Remove veggies from grill to a small pan and slice the green pepper.
4. Spray the top of the naan with olive oil spray, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder and place on grill for about 2 to 3 minutes or just until grill marks appear. Flip and top with pasta sauce, sliced zucchini, green pepper, tomatoes, chicken, goat cheese and thyme. Close grill lid for about three minutes or just until goat cheese softens.
5. Slide naan onto plate and slice into quarters. One serving is half a naan.
BOOYA! Take THAT homemade crust! I don't hear you talking now crust!
