Spicy Pineapple and Prosciutto Flatbread Pizza

Servings: 4-6 people

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb flatbread (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup caramelized pineapple (see note)
  • 6 slices prosciutto, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh arugula
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the flatbread:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place the flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Top the flatbread:

  • Spread the caramelized pineapple over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Arrange the chopped prosciutto on top of the pineapple.
  • Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the prosciutto.
  • Add fresh arugula leaves on top.

Bake and serve:

  • Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese (if using).
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

Notes:

  • To caramelize pineapple, cook it in a pan over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
  • Gluten-free alternatives: Replace the flatbread with gluten-free flatbreads or substitute with cauliflower crust pizza.
