Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the onion and garlic: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vegetables: Stir in the grated carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, spinach and corn. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Marinate: Add the cumin powder, paprika, turmeric, salt and pepper and mix well, allowing the spices to blend with the vegetables.
Cool the filling: Remove the pan from the heat and allow the filling to cool slightly before filling the flatbreads. If using cheese, mix it into the vegetable filling now for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 3: Assemble the flatbreads
Divide the dough: Once the dough has rested, divide it into 6-8 equal portions, depending on how big you want your flatbread to be.
Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll each portion into a small circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Fill the flatbreads: Place 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable filling on one half of each dough circle, leaving the edges free. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a semicircle. Press the edges together to seal, and use a fork to crimp for extra security.
Step 4: Cook the Flatbread
Stovetop Cooking: Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with olive oil or butter.
Cook the Flatbread: Place the stuffed flatbreads in the hot skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Be sure to cook in batches if your pan isn’t large enough.
Keep Warm: Transfer the cooked flatbreads to a plate and cover with a towel to keep them warm while you finish baking the rest.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve Hot: These flatbreads are best served warm, straight from the pan. You can enjoy them as is, or have them with a side of yogurt, salsa, or a fresh salad.
Tips for Making Vegetable Stuffed Flatbreads
Customizable Filling: Feel free to change up the veggies depending on what you have on hand. Mushrooms, peas, or even roasted sweet potatoes make great additions!
Spice it up: If you like a little heat, add some red pepper flakes or finely chopped green peppers to the vegetable filling for a spicy kick.
Make-ahead option: These flatbreads are easy to freeze. Simply wrap the uncooked stuffed flatbreads in plastic wrap and freeze for up to two months. When you’re ready to cook them, thaw them at room temperature before cooking according to the instructions.
