Ingredients

for the zucchini (cooked in 2 batches)

  • 1 1/2 tbsp oil divided in 2
  • 2 zucchini thinly sliced

for the onions

  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion sliced

for the cherry tomatoes

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 4 green chilies
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes

to assemble 1 lavash pizza

  • 1 whole wheat Lavash bread I like Trader Joe's
  • 1-2 spoonfuls marinara sauce
  • 24 slices cooked zucchini
  • small handful onions Onions
  • small handful cherry tomatoes
  • 1 ounce goat cheese crumbled all over
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 8 fresh basil leaves

Instructions

Saute Zucchini

  • Thinly slice zucchini. We will cook the zucchini in 2 batches.
  • Heat up a castiron skillet on medium heat, once hot, add 3/4 tbsp of oil. Add half the zucchini.
  • The zucchini will cook fast. This is what you'll have 3 minutes later. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Cook for another 3-5 minutes until your zucchini is golden brown.
  • Once done, place the zucchini on a dry paper towel so the moisture will be absorbed. This will prevent the pizza from getting soggy.

Saute Onions

  • Next slice your onions. In the same skillet, add 1/2 tbsp of oil and your sliced onions.
  • This is how your onions will be 4 minutes later - perfect caramelized.
  • Set aside.

Saute your Cherry Tomatoes

  • Slice your cherry tomatoes in half. Chop your garlic and Indian/Thai green chilies.
  • Heat up the same skillet on medium heat. add oil, followed by garlic and green chilies. Saute for a minute.
  • Add cherry tomatoes and season with salt. Stir and cook for 5-6 minutes until soft.
  • This is what you should have. The cherry tomatoes will be sweet and delicious.
  • Ingredients are now prepped.

Grate Parmesan Cheese

  • Grate your parmesan cheese. I like using fresh parmesan cheese.

Assemble Goat Cheese Lavash Pizza

  • Take whole wheat lavash bread. I like using Trader Joe's brand.
  • Spread a couple of dollops of marinara sauce. Don't overdo it, you just want a thin layer of marinara sauce. I love using Rao's Marinara.
  • Now top with sauteed zucchini - you want to add 24 slices of zucchini here. Spread them individually all over.
  • Top with onions and tomatoes - don't overcrowd.
  • Now add crumbles of chevre herbed goat cheese - I used roughly 1 ounce for 1 lavash bread. You can certainly add more.
  • Now add parmesan cheese - you'll need about 1/3 cup of parmesan cheese.
  • Top with 8-9 fresh basil leaves. If you prefer, you can add basil leaves after baking too.
  • Bake for 5 minutes or so at 400 degrees until the lavash bread is crispy and the cheese has melted. I used my toaster oven here. Lavash bread gets crispy fast so it may take you anywhere from 3-5 minutes for that perfect texture.
  • Slice into 6 pieces and enjoy hot!
