Roasted Beet and Sweet Corn Flatbread with Pistachio Pesto

If you love the farmer’s market like I do, you know this is a great time to stock up on sweet corn. The taste doesn’t even compare to the canned stuff and it adds a pop of freshness to any summer meal. This flatbread is perfect served as an appetizer or at dinner with a leafy green salad.

1. Preheat oven to 425. Place the beets, corn and
onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and
pepper. Roast 20 minutes. 

2. Meanwhile, combine the pesto ingredients in a food processor. Spread pesto onto each flatbread. 

3. Top the flatbreads with roasted veggies and sprinkle with goat cheese. Bake 8 minutes.  

4. Finish the flatbreads with parsley and serve.
