Naan, the Indian flatbread, forms the base for this recipe, eliminating the steps of making dough from scratch and baking it. A simple topping of red grapes, ricotta, honey and hazelnuts completes the flatbread. It can serve as a light lunch or snack.
Ingredients
½ cup seedless red grapes, sliced in half
3¼ tsp. honey, divided
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped
1 naan flatbread
2 oz. whole milk dry ricotta
1½ tbsp. chopped hazelnuts
Drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil
½ tsp. grated lemon zest, chopped
Steps
1. Preset convection oven to 425 F. on low blower setting.
2. In a clean dry bowl, combine sliced grapes, 1 teaspoon honey, cracked black pepper and chopped rosemary; set aside
3. On a clean dry sheet pan, place naan; drizzle with 2 teaspoons honey. Scatter ricotta over honey. Scatter grape mixture over naan; sprinkle on hazelnuts and drizzle with
olive oil.
