Ingredients
  

1 large whole wheat flatbread or pizza dough

4 medium-sized carrots, peeled and cut into thin ribbons or sticks

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme, if available)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 cup goat cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup arugula or mixed greens

1 teaspoon honey (optional for drizzling)

Balsamic reduction (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Carrots: In a mixing bowl, toss the carrot ribbons or sticks with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried thyme until well coated.

      Roast the Carrots: Spread the carrots evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through for even roasting.

        Prepare the Flatbread: While the carrots are roasting, prepare the flatbread. If using pizza dough, roll it out to your desired size. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

          Add Garlic and Cheese: Lightly brush the flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle the minced garlic over the surface. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly across the top.

            Bake the Flatbread: Once the carrots are done roasting, remove them from the oven and scatter them over the flatbread with goat cheese. Bake the flatbread in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.

              Finish with Greens: When the flatbread is ready, remove it from the oven and top with fresh arugula or mixed greens. Drizzle with honey and balsamic reduction, if using, for added flavor.

                Slice and Serve: Let the flatbread cool slightly, then slice it into pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
