# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It sneaks vegetables onto your plate without anyone complaining because they're too busy admiring how beautiful it looks.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 35 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or last-minute entertaining.
  • You can customize every single vegetable based on what's in your crisper drawer, so nothing ever goes to waste.
02 -
  • Blanch your broccoli first if you want to avoid a soggy flatbread disaster, it only takes two minutes in boiling water and changes everything.
  • Don't arrange your vegetables too far in advance or the moisture will start leaching into the hummus, so prep them and assemble the pizza within 10 minutes of baking.
03 -
  • If your flatbread comes out of the oven still a bit soft, let it cool for a full minute before slicing because the cheese continues to set and the flatbread will crisp up.
  • Keep your oven temperature consistent by avoiding opening the door too many times, which is harder than it sounds when you're curious about how it's progressing.
