What Type of Flatbread to Use

The secret to this spinach flatbread lies in the flatbread. Flatbread simply makes the most delicious pizza-like crust. It crisps up really nicely and you get the most perfect thin crust. 

The type of flatbread you choose is all up to you. A flatbread is flattened bread made with flour, water, and salt. There are many varieties of flatbreads. I personally love naan bread but you can also use pita bread. 

To make this recipe easy, I went with naan bread from the supermarket. You can also make your own from scratch.

What to Serve with Flatbread

There are a few different ways to serve spinach flatbread. If you’re planning on serving it as an appetizer it pairs well with other light appetizers such as Cheese Platter, Greek Yogurt Onion Dip, or Healthy 7-Layer Dip.

Spinach Artichoke Flatbread Ingredients

If you start with store-bought flatbread, you’ll have this appetizer on the table in less than 20 minutes. 

Here’s what you’ll need to make this flatbread:

• Olive oil
• Garlic
• Fresh parsley
• Flatbread, such as naan bread
• Mozzarella cheese
• Parmesan cheese
• Artichokes, canned
• Cherry tomatoes

How to Make Spinach Artichoke Flatbread

Before starting any prep, have your oven preheated to 425 F and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place your flatbread on the prepared baking sheet and set it aside.

First, make the garlic + parsley oil, which serves as a base for the flatbread and adds insane flavor. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, and parsley. Spread the mixture over each flatbread. 

Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and about 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.

Next, combine the artichokes, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach with dried basil, and remaining olive oil. Make sure to season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Spoon over each flatbread and sprinkle the top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the bottom and sides are golden crisp. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before slicing.
