ThemedLunchItalianFlatbreadSheet-pan
Ingredients
- 2 large (about 10-inch) store-bought flatbreads or naan
- 1.5 cups seedless red grapes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 3 cups fresh arugula
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 6 oz fresh mozzarella
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- 2Halve the grapes and cherry tomatoes and toss them on the prepared pan with one tablespoon of the olive oil, the thyme, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- 3Roast the grapes and tomatoes for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the pan once, until the grapes look blistered and jammy and the tomatoes have collapsed slightly.
- 4While the fruit roasts, mince the garlic and stir it into the remaining olive oil.
- 5Place the flatbreads on a second sheet pan or directly on the oven rack for the last 3 minutes of roasting time to warm and lightly crisp them.
- 6Remove the flatbreads and brush each generously with the garlic oil.
- 7Tear the fresh mozzarella into small pieces and scatter it evenly over both flatbreads.
- 8Spoon the hot roasted grapes and tomatoes over the cheese, then sprinkle with Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
- 9Return the loaded flatbreads to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the mozzarella is melted and the edges of the bread are golden.
- 10In a small bowl, toss the arugula with the balsamic vinegar and a drizzle of any remaining garlic oil.
- 11Pull the flatbreads from the oven, top each half generously with the dressed arugula, and let them rest 1 minute so the greens just wilt from the heat.
- 12Slice into wedges and serve family-style while still warm for an easy weekend lunch spread.
