Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the NAAN PIZZA.
Part snack, part meal, it’s a do-it-yourself, quick and dirty, gourmet-esque treat that’s fun for the whole family.

A good friend shared the concept with me a few weeks ago and as obvious of a concept as it may sound, it really hit the spot! I wondered why I haven’t been making naan pizza my whole life. And now I feel compelled to spread the message of naan pizza to the world.

Here’s how to make your very own naan pizza (what makes this so great is the ability to improvise so please don’t hesitate to add your magic touch to the ingredient list):

Step 1 – Grab a naan bread (preferably flavoured, for example garlic or onion). While naan bread is easily available in most grocery stores these days, this ingredient can easily be substituted with pita or tortilla wraps but I think the naan adds an exotic twist and it’s a little thicker than pita so it holds everything together a bit better.

Step 2 – Spread some tomato sauce or, if you don’t have any on hand, tomato juice will do the trick.

Step 3 – Add whatever toppings you may have in the refrigerator such as diced onions, halved cherry tomatoes, leftover meat, grilled vegetables, etc.

Step 4 – Don’t forget the cheeeeeeeeeese please! Hell you can even skip Step 3 and just go directly to the cheese step. In fact, why not try mixing different types of cheese such as boconccini, mozzarella, parmesan, blue cheese, goat cheese, whatever toots your horn!

Step 5 – Sprinkle with your favourite herbs or spices and place in toaster oven (or regular oven) directly on the grill (so that it doesn’t get soggy) for a few minutes until cheese begins to melt.

Ta-da! Enjoy your naan pizza responsibly (don’t burn your tongue, it’s sure to be hot and sizzling)!

So in about 5 minutes, you’ve managed to rid your fridge of any leftovers that you really didn’t know what to do with as well as prepared a healthy snack to hold you off until the next meal. And better yet, you didn’t reach for a candy bar or sugary snack.

Now that’s some friendly advice that’s worth experimenting with! Yum-my!
