Veggie Flatbread with Whipped Tofu Basil Ricotta

Veggie Flatbread with Whipped Tofu Basil Ricotta

Flatbreads are one of the easiest things to throw together on nights when you’re needing a quick dinner or as an appetizer for your guests. Any plain pizza crust will do for this recipe however I used Trader Joe’s Gluten Free frozen crust as my base.

With a white-based sauce, the taste of the vegetables comes forward. I used my Whipped Tofu Basil Ricotta recipe for the base of this flatbread. For the chickpeas, I cooked mine in the air fryer at 400F for 10 mins and drizzled them in honey and sesame seeds. If not using an air fryer, broil at 400 for a few minutes to achieve the same crispiness.
