Grilled Flatbread Pizza Recipe: Avocado Pesto Perfection for Summer
Summer is the perfect time to fire up the grill and enjoy delicious, easy-to-make meals outdoors. And what could be more appealing than a perfectly grilled flatbread pizza topped with fresh, vibrant ingredients? This recipe for Grilled Flatbread Pizzas with Avocado Pesto captures the essence of summer with its smoky flavors, creamy pesto, and seasonal produce.
While traditional oven-baked pizzas are a classic, grilling flatbread adds a unique dimension of flavor that’s hard to resist. The char from the grill imparts a subtle smokiness that elevates the entire pizza experience. Plus, grilling is a fantastic way to cook during the summer months, keeping your kitchen cool and your taste buds happy.
This innovative grilled flatbread recipe takes a departure from the ordinary by swapping out the traditional tomato sauce for an incredibly creamy avocado pesto. This pesto is packed with fresh basil, garlic, and the healthy fats from avocado, creating a flavor profile that’s both rich and refreshing. The avocado pesto provides a luscious base that perfectly complements the other toppings.
The star of this summer pizza show is undoubtedly the grilled corn on the cob. Grilling corn brings out its natural sweetness and adds a delightful smoky char that enhances its flavor. The combination of sweet corn, creamy avocado pesto, and smoky grilled flatbread is a culinary masterpiece that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Remember the quick and easy method for shucking and cutting corn? You can use that same technique to prepare grilled corn. Simply slather the corn with butter, wrap it in foil, and grill until tender. This method ensures that the corn cooks evenly and retains its moisture, resulting in perfectly grilled corn every time.
