10 Minute Naan Pesto Pizza

10 Minute Naan Pesto Pizza

There are days that we all face that require us to either grab some takeout, or make something quick at home.  Typically, those quick dinners tend to be a bit boring because they aren’t well thought-out.  I have the perfect solution for those kinds of nights, or even afternoons when you need a quick lunch.

This 10-minute naan pizza will change your pizza game.  Although, it’s not the most low carb of pizzas out there, it’s the quickest and you don’t have to skimp on flavor.  In fact, it may be one of my favorite pizza combos ever.  Taking me back to Italy with all the fresh flavors pizzas should have without being covered in tons of sauce.

You can ultimately top yours however you like, but this prosciutto, mozzarella, fresh tomato and basil, garlic, and pesto combo is to die for!  I use Once Upon a Chef’s “The Best Basic Pesto”, because it truly is the best.  I love all of the flavors it allows to shine through and Jenn absolutely nailed it. I love pesto with walnuts for two reasons: 1. I usually always have them on hand and 2. they are affordable in comparison to pine nuts.  The only change I make, is when I’m making these pizzas, I buy the marinated bocconcini (mozzarella balls), and use the oil from that to make the pesto.  I also try and use the large basil leaves for the pesto and leave the small little tender basil leaves for the pizza topping.

10 Minute Naan Pesto Pizza

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces garlic naan
  • The Best Basic Pesto
  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced
  • 2 slices of prosciutto, roughly torn, optional
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Marinated bocconcini, cut in half
  • Pink Himalayan salt
  • Black pepper
  • Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400⁰F. Line a baking sheet with foil and then place a wire rack on top to keep the naan from getting soggy on the bottom.  Bake the naan for about 3-4 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
  2. Place about 2 tablespoons on pesto on each piece of naan and spread evenly. Top with tomato slices, prosciutto, garlic, and bocconcini.  Season lightly with salt and pepper.  Back for about 10 minutes or until cheese in all melted.
  3. Remove pizzas and top with an additional drizzle of pesto and some fresh basil leaves before serving.
