Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Cheesy Carrot Flatbreads—a savory, cheesy, and slightly sweet twist on traditional flatbread!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
- 1/2 cup grated carrot (about 1 medium carrot)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the olive oil and stir it into the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add about 1/2 cup of water (you might need a bit more or less depending on the consistency), stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a tiny bit more water.
- Incorporate the Carrots and Cheese:
- Once the dough comes together, fold in the grated carrot, mozzarella, Parmesan, and garlic powder (if using). Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Shape the Flatbreads:
- Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions, depending on how large you want your flatbreads.
- Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten each into a circle or oval shape using your hands or a rolling pin. Aim for about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with a little olive oil.
- Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired, and serve warm!
These Cheesy Carrot Flatbreads are perfect for dipping in hummus, using as a wrap, or simply enjoying on their own. The combination of melted cheese and sweet carrots makes them so flavorful! Enjoy!
