Steps to Make Cheesy Carrot Flatbreads
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Grate the Carrot: Wash and peel the carrot, then finely grate it to ensure it blends well into the mixture.
Mince the Garlic (optional): Peel and mince the garlic if using. It adds an extra layer of flavor.
Chop the Parsley: Rinse the parsley and chop it finely.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrot, beaten egg, grated mozzarella cheese, minced garlic (if using), and chopped parsley.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined, and the mixture is sticky enough to form into flatbreads.
Step 3: Shape the Flatbreads
Divide the mixture into four equal portions.
Using your hands, shape each portion into a thin flatbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Aim for about ¼ inch thickness for even cooking.
Optional: Brush the flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle extra seasonings like oregano, chili flakes, or additional salt and pepper on top for extra flavor.
Bake: Place the flatbreads in the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
