Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Use a spiralizer with the large shredding blade to turn the squash into spirals. In a medium bowl, toss the squash together with the bell pepper, onion, and a splash of olive oil. Set this mixture aside for a moment.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with some lemon zest until well combined. Spread this creamy mixture over the naan, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges. Next, sprinkle the Gruyere cheese evenly on top.

Now, spread the squash and veggie mix over the cheese layer, making sure it’s nicely distributed. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Place the naan on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven.
