Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces naan bread
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 5 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Chili onion crunch optional

Equipment

  • Oven or air fryer
  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 450°F. Place the naan pieces on a baking sheet.
  2. Make the Ricotta Spread
    In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Spread the Base
    Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over each piece of naan.
  4. Add the Toppings
    Layer fresh spinach and sliced mushrooms on top of the ricotta spread.
  5. Add the Cheese
    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over each naan.
  6. Bake
    Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  7. Serve
    Remove from the oven, add chili onion crunch if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an even crispier crust, pre-bake the naan alone for 3–5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Air fryer option: Cook at 375°F for 5–7 minutes for a fast, crispy result.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • To reheat: oven at 400°F for 5 minutes, or microwave for ~10 seconds.
  • Customize with sauces like pesto, marinara, or barbecue instead of ricotta.
  • Whole-grain naan is a great option for extra fiber and nutrients.
