Ingredients

  • Chickpea flour - 150 grams
  • Water - 200 milliliters
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
  • Red onion - 50 grams, thinly sliced
  • Bell pepper - 50 grams, diced
  • Kalamata olives - 50 grams, pitted and sliced
  • Fresh oregano - 1 tablespoon, chopped
  • Fresh basil - 1 tablespoon, chopped

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Pour half of the chickpea batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a flat round shape. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the edges are golden and the bottom is set.
  4. Carefully flip the flatbread and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the other side is golden.
  5. Remove the flatbread from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter to make the second flatbread.
  6. Once both flatbreads are cooked, top each with halved cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, diced bell pepper, Kalamata olives, fresh oregano, and basil.
  7. Return the topped flatbreads to the skillet, cover, and heat for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
  8. Slice and serve warm.
