Ingredients
  

1 large flatbread (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish, balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it over medium-high flame.

    Marinate the Veggies: In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together to ensure an even coating.

      Grill the Vegetables: Place the veggies on the grill or grill pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from the heat and set aside.

        Prepare the Flatbread: Lay the flatbread on a clean workspace. Spread the basil pesto evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edges.

          Assemble the Flatbread: Layer the grilled vegetables, fresh spinach, and shredded mozzarella cheese over the pesto-covered flatbread.

            Grill the Flatbread: Carefully transfer the flatbread to the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread are crispy.

              Serve: Remove the flatbread from the grill and let it cool for a minute. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Cut into slices and serve warm.
