Ingredients
  

2 large whole wheat flatbreads

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds

1 red or yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup baby spinach leaves

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or plant-based cheese for a vegan alternative)

½ cup marinara sauce or pesto

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Begin by heating your grill to medium-high. If you prefer indoor cooking, a grill pan on the stove works equally well.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced zucchini, bell pepper strips, and thinly sliced red onion. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

      Grill the Vegetables: Place the seasoned vegetable mixture directly on the grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and develop appealing grill marks. Once cooked, remove them from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.

        Assemble the Flatbread: On a clean countertop or cutting board, lay out the whole wheat flatbreads. Spread ¼ cup of marinara sauce or pesto evenly on each flatbread, making sure to cover all edges. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over each flatbread.

          Add the Toppings: Distribute the grilled vegetables evenly over the cheese on each flatbread. Follow this by adding a handful of baby spinach leaves. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese, ensuring even coverage.

            Grill the Flatbreads: Brush the underside of the assembled flatbreads with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Carefully place them on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly. The bottom of the flatbreads should turn crispy and golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the flatbreads are finished, carefully remove them from the grill using a spatula. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor. Slice into pieces and serve immediately while warm.
