For dinner tonight you need to make this easy and delicious Roasted Garlic Pizza! Made with real, fresh ingredients in a matter of minutes!

Ingredients 

  • 1 large head of garlic
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 2 naan bread
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large heirloom tomato sliced into 1/2 inch slices
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella more, if desired
  • 2 tablespoons shallot peeled & thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 400℉. Cut the bottom off of 1 large head of garlic.
  • Roast Garlic: Place the cut garlic head in a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and pinch kosher salt. Wrap in foil and bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes. Let cool and then pop the roasted garlic cloves out of the peel.
  • Toppings: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place 2 naan bread on top. Drizzle the naan with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil Begin dividing the tomato slices, 4 ounces fresh mozzarella (tear into pieces), and 2 tablespoons shallot between each naan bread.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted. Option to move it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, if you want more browning.
  • Finish: On top of the pizzas add fresh arugula, kosher salt and ground black pepper. Cut and serve immediately!

Notes

  • Pizza Toppings: feel free to get creative here and add or remove any toppings according to your personal preference.
  • Storage: leftover pizza can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. You may want to remove the arugula before reheating to prevent sogginess.
