Servings 1 person
Ingredients
- 1 naan
- 1 ½ tsp olive oil
- ½ tsp jarred minced garlic
- 4 tbsp blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
- ¾ cup canned chickpeas
- 4 tbsp buffalo sauce
- 1 cup fresh broccoli divided into very small sections
- ¼ cup blue cheese chunks
- 1 stalks celery sliced thinly
- 1 scallion sliced
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 385°. Place a sheet pan on the middle shelf of the oven while it is preheating.
- Meanwhile, drizzle ½ tsp of olive oil and the minced garlic on the naan bread and spread with a pastry brush or the back of a spoon to cover the entire surface of the bread evenly.
- Follow with 2 tbsp of blue cheese dressing and spread over most of the surface of the bread, saving the edges as crust. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the pizza.
- In a medium-sized bowl, toss the chickpeas in 2 tbsp of buffalo sauce. Then cover the pizza with the chickpeas. In a second bowl, toss the broccoli with 1 tsp of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pizza with the broccoli. Finally, sprinkle the blue cheese over the pizza.
- When the oven is preheated, move the naan pizza to the sheet pan and cook in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the broccoli cooked. Meanwhile, slice the celery and scallions.
- When the naan pizza is finished baking, sprinkle the celery and scallions onto the pizza and drizzle with remaining buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing.
Notes
This would be perfect as an appetizer for a party. Slice it up and serve with extra blue cheese dressing as a dipping sauce!
