This Vegan Eggplant & Hummus Flatbread combines thin slices of eggplant, creamy hummus and balsamic cherry tomatoes & garlic. A great snack to share or a dinner to eat on your own.
Place dough on flour dusted surface and allow to come to room temperature (approx. 30-60 minutes).
While dough is coming to room temperature, place eggplant slices on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Once eggplant begins to sweat wipe salt and liquid off.
Heat 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a griddle over medium heat. Place eggplant slices in the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until there are grill marks (approx. 3 minutes). Flip and cook until the other side has grill marks. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Heat remaining 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in the same pan. Add cherry tomatoes, garlic, oregano and salt & pepper. Saute until tomatoes begin to blister. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Roll pizza dough out on a greased baking sheet. Spread desired amount of hummus over the entire pizza. Top with eggplant slices followed by tomato mixture.
Bake for 15-17 minutes (or until toppings are bubbling and crust is brown).
Remove from the oven and top with balsamic glaze, chives and red pepper flakes. Slice and serve.
