Shaved Asparagus and Cherry Tomato Pizza
- 1 bunch Asparagus, Washed And Tough Ends Removed
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice, Freshly Squeezed
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 whole 300 Gram Whole Grain Flatbread (or Enough Dough For A 9x13 Square Pizza)
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 3/4 cups Part-skim Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Shave the asparagus down the length of the stalk with a vegetable peeler (you are basically shaving it into ribbons).
- Put the asparagus into a bowl and drizzle with lemon juice, one tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil all over the flatbread.
- Be sure to get the edges, so that they brown and crisp in the oven.
- Spread the minced garlic all over the flatbread and gently press it into the dough.
- Top the flatbread with the asparagus, sprinkle with the mozzerella cheese, and then spread the cherry tomato halves over the cheese (consider seasoning the tomatoes with salt and pepper).
- Bake the pizza for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F (or to directions for your flatbread).
- Towards the end, put the oven on broil and brown the edges of the pizza for about 2 minutes with the oven door slightly open.
