Asparagus Flatbread

By gwendee1

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces store-bought pizza dough (or to make your own, see Finishing Touches below)
• 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Grease a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil.

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a ½-inch-thick rectangle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.

3. In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper. Arrange the asparagus on the dough and top with Parmesan.

4. Bake the flatbread until the crust is golden and crisp and the asparagus is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool briefly before serving, or cool completely and serve at room temperature.
