Veggie Flatbread

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

  • 1 small, whole wheat flatbread, such as pita or naan
  • 2 Tablespoons bean dip, mashed avocado, or hummus
  • 2 Tablespoons shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 broccoli floret
  • Fruit and vegetable toppers (pieces of bell peppers, spinach, red cabbage, zucchini, pineapple work well), about ¼ cup worth 

Directions:

  1. Spread your chosen dip evenly over the flatbread.
  2. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the flatbread.
  3. Use clean scissors or a knife to make broccoli “sprinkles” by cutting the flower ends off the floret. Cut the leftover stem into small pieces. Sprinkle both on top of the flatbread as well.
  4. Either cut your chosen fruit and vegetable toppers into bite-sized pieces (kids can use plastic knives to do this) or use food shape cutters to cut them into shapes. Arrange them however you like on top of the flatbread. Eat at room temperature or place in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
