Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook lentils in 2 cups water for 25 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain and cool completely. Dice zucchini, bell pepper, and onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté vegetables for 8 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Cool completely.

  5. Step 5: Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil before serving.
