Masala Naan Pizza

Step 1

Arrange 2 racks to divide the oven into thirds and heat the oven to 425ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil onto each baking sheet and use your fingers or a brush to evenly coat the paper with the oil. Place 2 naans on each baking sheet.

Step 2

Dice 1/2 medium green bell pepper (about 1/2 cup) and 1/2 small red onion (about 1/2 cup). Coarsely chop the leaves and tender stems of 1/4 bunch fresh cilantro until you have about 1/4 cup.

Step 3

Place 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce, 2 teaspoons garam masala, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 pinch kosher salt in a small bowl. Stir until combined. Divide among the naan (about 1/4 cup each) and spread into an even layer. Top the naan evenly with 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, the bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle the pizzas with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Step 4

Bake until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, 13 to 15 minutes. Garnish with the cilantro and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
